BColeorhiza around plumule, coleoptile around radicle

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Coleoptile around plumule, coleorhiza around radicle
In monocots: coleoptile sheaths the plumule; coleorhiza sheaths the radicle; scutellum is the single shield-shaped cotyledon; aleurone is the outer proteinous layer of endosperm.
