Solution

The correct option is A Cotyledons
Almond/trapa is a drupe. When the endocarp is cracked open it reveals the seed whose cotyledons are edible. Drupe is a succulent type of fruit with a thin membranous epicarp, fleshy mesocarp and stony hard endocarp which encloses the seed.
So, the correct answer is 'Cotyledons'.
