Correct Answer - B
During the development of dicot embryo, initially the dicot embryo is globular and undifferentiated. Early embryo with radial symmetry is called proembryo. It is transformed into embryo with the development of radicle, plumule and cotyledons. Two cotyledons differetiate from the sides with a faint plumule in the centre. At this time the embryo becomes heart-shaped part of embryo axis between the plumule and cotyledonary node is epicotyl (above the level of cotyledons) while the part between radicle and cotyledonary node is called hypocotyl (below the level of cotyledons). The single cotyledon of monocotyledonous seed (e.g. maize grain) is called scutellum. It occupies the major protion of the embryo regions of grain.
