Correct Answer :

Option D

A-II, B- III, C-IV, D-I

A-II, B- III, C-IV, D-I

Solution :

**Matching the terms**

1. Scutellum (A) – The scutellum is a specialized cotyledon found in monocotyledonous seeds. It functions as a nutrient‑absorbing organ during germination. Therefore, it correctly matches II – Cotyledon of Monocot seed.

2. Non‑albuminous seed (B) – In non‑albuminous seeds, the storage tissue is not derived from the albumen but from other parts of the seed, such as the perisperm or endosperm. Groundnut (III) is a classic example of a non‑albuminous seed, making this the correct pair.

3. Epiblast (C) – The epiblast is a rudimentary or reduced cotyledon that is present in some seeds but does not develop into a fully functional leaf‑like structure. Hence, it matches IV – Rudimentary cotyledon.

4. Perisperm (D) – The perisperm originates from the nucellus and remains persistent in the mature seed, serving as a storage tissue. This corresponds to I – Persistent nucellus.

Putting all the correct matches together gives the option:

A‑II, B‑III, C‑IV, D‑I
