The correct answer is: Mustard - Dicot and endospermic
Endosperm provide nourishment to the developing embryo.

There are two types of seed- endospermic seed and non-endospermic seed.

Endospermous seeds are those seeds in which Endosperm persists in the mature seeds and endosperm continues to support the growth of embryo during seeds germination whereas in non-endospermic seed, the endosperm is totally consumed by the developing embryo therefore mature seed do not contain any endosperm.
