Solution

The correct option is C Outer integument of ovule
Seed is a mature, integumented megasporangium or ovule. It has a protective covering called seed coat. There are two layers in the seed coat - (i) outer layer (testa) that is usually hard and develops from the outer integument and (ii) the inner layer (tegmen) which forms from the inner integument when it becomes thin and papery.
