Correct answer
B. a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
Step-by-step solution
Parthenocarpic fruits are developed without any fertilization of the ovary. These fruits are seedless. Seedless banana is an example. In monocot seeds, the large shield shape cotyledon is known as scutellum. The endosperm is covered by a proteinous layer called aleurone layer that separates the endosperm from the embryo and nourishes it. The attachment of seeds to fruit leaves a scar on a seed coat called hilum.
