Dear student,
The correct answer is (D).The wheat grain is a  caryopsis.The embryo in this type lies at the base of the grain. The embryo consists of one large shield-shaped cotyledon called as scutellum.It is closely pushed and pressed against the endosperm. It helps in the transfer of nutrients from endosperm to the growing embryo during the process of germination and growth of seedling.
