Solution

The correct option is A Seed coat
The edible fruit is a berry, with a rounded shape and thick, reddish skin. The number of seeds in a pomegranate can vary from 200 to about 1400 seeds. Each seed has a surrounding water-laden pulp the edible sarcotesta that forms from the seed coat ranging in color from white to deep red or purple. In seeds no aril is present. The sarcotesta of pomegranate seeds consists of epidermis cells derived from the integument. The seeds are embedded in a white, spongy, astringent membrane.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
