Solution

The correct option is D Alisma
Endosperm is the tissue formed inside the seed. It surrounds embryo and provides nutrition. Mostly monocots have endospermic or albuminous seed and dicots have non-endospermic seed. But one of the exceptions is Alisma seed which is a monocot plant but with non-endospermic seed. Thus, the correct answer is 'Alisma.'
