Solution

The correct option is C Gramineae
Gramineae, the grass family produce an edible grain, the bulk of which, the endosperm, is a rich source of carbohydrates for the germinating embryo. The embryo contains protein, oil, and some vitamins. For example, Oryza sativa, rice, is one of the most important food crops that humans utilise, providing the primary source of starch for a large segment of the world's population
So, the correct answer is 'Gramineae'
