Correct Answer - c
Given figure illustrates epigeal seed germination which occurs in bean seeds. In this type of seed germination, cotyledons are pushed out of the soil by greater growth of hypocotyl. Hypocotyl grows actively and becomes curved to protect the plumule and cotyledons from friction of soil. After coming out of the soil surface, the hypocotyl straightens. The loosened seed coats fall down, cotyledons turn green and become photosynthetic to function as first leaves of the seedling.
