Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

In hypogeal seed germination, the epicotyls elongates instead of hypocotyls. This keeps cotyledons inside soil surface or may bring them just above the soil surface but there they remain non-green, dry up gradually and fall off, eg, some seeds of dicots Pisum, Cicer, Cocos, Mangifera and most of monocot seeds Zea mays, Oryza sativa.
