B. Embryo

C. Endosperm

D. Testa

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The Seed coat is derived from testa.
The seed coat, or testa, is derived from the one or two protective integuments of the ovule. The ovary, in the simplest case, develops into a fruit.
The product is a structure in which the embryo is protected from temperature extremes by its state of desiccation and is often guarded against further drying and mechanical or biological degradation by the seed coats.
