The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Seed Formation**: Seed formation occurs after the fertilization of the ovule. The ovule, once fertilized, develops into a seed, while the ovary develops into the fruit. 2. **Identifying Seed Coat Characteristics**: The seed coat serves as a protective layer for the seed, which contains the embryo and endosperm. It is crucial for the protection of the developing embryo. 3. **Formation of Seed Coat**: The seed coat is formed from the two integuments of the ovule. These integuments develop into the protective layer surrounding the seed. 4. **Examples of Seed Coats**: - **Coconut**: Has a hard seed coat and is classified as indehiscent, meaning it does not split open to release its seeds when mature. - **Groundnut, Gram, and Maize**: These have thin, membranous seed coats. 5. **Conclusion**: Among the options given (groundnut, gram, maize, coconut), the seed coat that is not thin and membranous is found in the coconut. **Final Answer**: The seed coat is not thin and membranous in **coconut**. ---
