The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Plant**: The question asks about the embryo in sunflower. The scientific name of sunflower is Helianthus annuus. 2. **Determine the Type of Plant**: Sunflower is classified as a dicotyledon (dicot). This classification is important because it helps us understand the number of cotyledons present in the embryo. 3. **Understand Cotyledons**: Cotyledons are the first leaves that appear from a germinating seed. Dicotyledons, by definition, have two cotyledons, while monocotyledons have one. 4. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option A**: Two cotyledons – This is correct for sunflowers as they are dicots. - **Option B**: One cotyledon – This is incorrect; this is characteristic of monocots. - **Option C**: Eight cotyledons – This is incorrect; no known plant has eight cotyledons. - **Option D**: No cotyledon – This is also incorrect; all seeds have at least one cotyledon. 5. **Conclusion**: The embryo in sunflower has two cotyledons, making the correct answer **Option A**.
