Option B

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

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

Solution :

To determine the correct matches, we examine the meaning of each term in List I and find the corresponding description in List II.

1. Scutellum (A)
The scutellum is the large, fan‑shaped cotyledon found in monocotyledonous (monocot) seeds such as cereals. It functions as a nutrient‑absorbing organ during germination. Therefore it corresponds to “Cotyledon of Monocot seed” (II).

2. Non‑albuminous seed (B)
A non‑albuminous seed lacks a fleshy albumen. The groundnut (peanut) is a classic example of such a seed: its storage tissue is the cotyledon itself rather than a separate albumen. Hence B matches “Groundnut” (III).

3. Epiblast (C)
The epiblast is the part of the embryo that remains as a very small, under‑developed cotyledon. This is described as a “Rudimentary cotyledon” (IV). Thus C matches IV.

4. Perisperm (D)
Perisperm is nutritive tissue derived from the nucellus that persists in the mature seed. It is therefore the “Persistent nucellus” (I). Hence D matches I.

Combining all the matches gives the option:

A‑II, B‑III, C‑IV, D‑I.
