is the correct option.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option (4) Castor​.

Explanation:

• Non-endospermic seeds are found in gramme, pea, bean, and peanut.
• Pea seeds are non-endospermic because the endosperm is consumed throughout the seed formation process.
• Groundnut has no permanent endosperm, it produces non-endospermic seeds.
• The developing embryo consumes the endosperm, which is completely devoured by the time it matures.
• In some seeds, such as Castor, this conserved nourishment is partially consumed by the embryo during development.
• The endosperm is retained in the seed and is used again during germination. As a result, the seed is either endospermic or albuminous.
