The correct option is D Epicotyl
The shoot tip remains protected by two small, folded leaves. The portion of embryo axis between the plumule and cotyledonary node is called epicotyl. The portion of axis between the radicle and cotyledonary node is called hypocotyl. Both epicotyl and hypocotyl elongate rapidly when seed germinate.
