Answer 1

The correct option is A root cap

Radicle is covered by a structure called root cap at its tip in both dicots and monocots.

Coleorrhiza is an undifferentiated sheath which encloses the radicle and the root cap in monocots.

Coleoptile is a sheath that covers the plumule or the shoot tip in monocots.
