Correct answer

A. Pea

Step-by-step solution

Non-albuminous (or ex-albuminous) seeds are those in which the endosperm is completely consumed during embryo development before seed maturation.

Examples of non-albuminous seeds include pea, groundnut, and gram.

Albuminous seeds retain a part of the endosperm as it is not completely used up during embryo development. Examples include wheat, maize, barley, and castor.

Therefore, pea produces non-albuminous seeds.
