Solution
The correct option is B Liquid endosperm in coconut
During early development of liquid endosperm in coconut fruits, nuclei divide repeatedly before cytokinesis sets in. In this, karyokinesis is not followed by cytokinesis. It is commonly called as liquid endosperm. Milky water in coconut is the liquid endosperm present in it. Its function is to provide nourishment for the developing embryo.
