The correct answer is:
NOT AVAILABLE

Endosperm is a nourishing tissue of seed which provide nourishment to the developing embryo either before or after germination. In gram and peas, the endosperm gets used up at the time of development of seed. So, seed is non-endospermic, i.e., endosperm is not present in the mature seed.
