Identify the incorrect example of albuminous seed.

The correct answer is Option (3) → Groundnut

An albuminous seed keeps part of its endosperm, because the embryo does not use it all up while developing. A non-albuminous seed has no endosperm left; the food is kept in the cotyledons instead.

Option (1) Wheat — An albuminous seed.

Option (2) Castor — An albuminous seed.

Option (3) Groundnut — Not an albuminous seed. Its endosperm is completely used up; the food is kept in the two thick cotyledons.

Option (4) Barley — An albuminous seed.
