Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
(A) Wheat — this matches (III) Albuminous seed. Wheat seeds keep part of the endosperm in the mature seed.
(B) Black pepper — this matches (I) Perisperm. In black pepper the nucellus persists in the seed as perisperm.
