Solution

The correct option is B Orchids
Orchids are monocots. The mature seeds of orchids do not have residual endosperm as the endosperm is completely consumed during the development of the embryo.

Castor is a dicot plant. The mature seeds of the castor plant have residual endosperm.

Maize is a monocot plant. The mature seeds of maize are rich in endosperm.
