Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Albuminous seeds are those where endosperm is absent, as in maize and castor bean.
The endosperm is absorbed by the developing embryo in their seeds.
In exalbuminous seeds, the endosperm is completely absorbed by the growing embryo and the food reserve gets stored in the cotyledons.
