Correct answer
C. A proteinaceous aleurone layer is present in maize grain.
Step-by-step solution
In monocotyledonous endospermic seeds, the endosperm is surrounded by proteinaceous one-cell thick layer, called the aleurone layer. The cells of aleurone layer are filled with proteinaceous aleurone grains which play an important role at the time of germination.
