Cotyledons and testa respectively are edible parts in

  1. walnut and tamarind
  2. french bean and coconut

Answer

(4) groundnut and pomegranate

Solution

In groundnut, the edible part of the seed is the pair of fleshy cotyledons.

⇒ In pomegranate, the edible part is the juicy outer seed coat (fleshy testa) of each seed.

∵ Coconut's edible part is endosperm, litchi's is the aril and tamarind's is the pulpy mesocarp,

∴ cotyledons and testa respectively are edible in groundnut and pomegranate.
