Solution

The correct option is B Epicotyl
The part labelled as A is epicotyl. In plant physiology, the epicotyl is the embryonic shoot above the cotyledons. The epicotyl develops into the leaves. In dicots, the hypocotyl is what appears to be the base stem under the spent withered cotyledons and the shoot just above that is the epicotyl. In monocot plants, the first shoot that emerges from the ground or from the seed is the epicotyl, from which the first shoots and leaves emerge.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
