    1. epicarp
    2. mesocarp
    3. endosperm
    4. cotyledons
Correct Option: D

Groundnut is economically important plant as edible oil is obtained from the cotyledons. Peanuts are a rich source of protein (roughly 30 grams per cup after roasting) and monounsaturated fat. Recent research on peanuts and nuts in general has found anti-oxidants and other chemicals that may provide health benefits. Peanuts are a significant source of resveratrol, a chemical studied for potential anti-aging effects.
