Solution

The correct option is A Seed coat
There are three parts of a plant seed, namely seed coat, endosperm and embryo. Seed coat protects the seed from physical, mechanical, temperature-related and water damage. Cotyledon is an embryonic leaf present within the seed of a plant. Embryo consists of precursor tissues for different parts of plants.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
