Correct answer
A. Embryo develops at the micropylar end of the embryo sac where the zygote is situated.
Step-by-step solution
Embryo develops at the micropylar end of the embryo sac where the zygote is situated. In the grass family the cotyledon is called scutellum that is situated towards one side (lateral) of the embryonal axis. The portion of the embryonal axis above the level of attachment of scutellum is the epicotyl. Epicotyl has a shoot apex and a few leaf primordia enclosed in a hollow foliar structure, the coleoptile.
