Which of the following statements about seed and fruit development is correct?
A
A seed consists of a seed coat and an embryo, which includes a radicle and cotyledons.

Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
A seed is indeed made up of a seed coat and an embryo, which consists of a radicle and, depending on the type, one or two cotyledons. The hilum is a scar on the seed coat, not part of the embryo, and the micropyle is a small pore above the hilum, not at the base of the seed coat.
