The correct answer is a bean-shaped embryo.
The developing stages of an embryo in angiosperms are:
- Proembryo: This is the earliest stage of embryo development, and it is characterized by a small group of cells that are dividing rapidly.
- Globular embryo: This stage is characterized by a spherical shape, and it is the stage at which the embryo begins to develop its basic body plan.
- Heart-shaped embryo: This stage is characterized by a heart-shaped cotyledon, and it is the stage at which the embryo begins to develop its vascular system.
- Torpedo-shaped embryo: This stage is characterized by a torpedo-shaped cotyledon, and it is the stage at which the embryo is ready to germinate.
