Solution

The correct option is A Plants having epiblast
Scutellum is considered to be a modified cotyledon, or seed leaf. In grasses this never develops into a green structure. It helps in digesting endosperm and transfering nutrients to the rest of the embryo. Epiblast present in certain monocot embryo represents rudimentary or reduced cotyledon.


Gram and castor are dicot plants which are devoid of scutellum.

The open vascular bundles are those in which there is a layer of cambium (secondary meristematic tissue) located in between the xylem and phloem. This is a characteristic of dicot plants.
