• Monocot plants seeds have one cotyledon. Rice, wheat, maize, bamboo, palm, banana, ginger, onion, garlic, lilies, daffodils, iris, orchids, bluebells, tulips, amaryllis are examples of monocots.

Angiosperms are also called as flowering plants. Monocots contain a single cotyledon as because the endosperm needed to nourish is not present outside the seed leaf. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Sunflower is a dicot plant meaning that it produces two cotyledons. Dicots produce two leaves when they first germinate. The leaves of a dicot vary in shape and size, with the veins extending out from the center. Roots of a dicot are tough and branched. A sunflower seed is a dicot that contains the characteristic double cotyledon. The cotyledon, also known as a seed leaf, holds food reserves for the developing seed. Sunflower is a flowering plant and not a monocot or pteridophyte.

Angiosperms are the flowering plants. Their seeds develop inside a female reproductive part of the flower, called as the ovary, which usually ripens into a protective fruit. Gymnosperms do not have flowers or ovaries. Their seeds mature inside cones. Seeds may be carried away from the parent plant by wind, water, or animals. Mango is an angiosperm. Cycas, Ginkgo and Pinus are gymnosperms. 

Thallophyta and bryophyta are cryptogams. They do not have vascular tissue and reproductive tissue, they are non-vascular plants and they reproduce asexually by formation of spores. They are flowering plants and have vascular and reproductive tissue.

Angiosperms are also called as flowering plants. They are classified based on characteristics that include cotyledon structure, pollen grains, as well as flower and vascular tissue arrangement. Basal angiosperms, classified separately, contain features found in both monocots and dicots, as they are believed to have originated before the separation of these two main groups. Monocots contain a single cotyledon and have veins that run parallel to the length of their leaves; their flowers are arranged in three to six-fold symmetry. Dicots have flowers arranged in whorls, two cotyledons, and a vein arrangement that forms networks within their leaves.

Angiosperm are subdivided into two classes which are cotyledons and dicotyledons depending on the number of cotyledons in their embryo. Maize has just one cotyledon in its embryo.

Phanerogamae are the sub-kingdom of kingdom Plantae. They include seed bearing and flowering plants. They are further grouped into angiosperms and gymnosperms. Angiosperms are subdivided into two classes which are cotyledons and dicotyledons depending on the number of cotyledons in their embryo.

Angiosperms are flowering plants and are not cryptogams (which are non-flowering plants like algae, mosses, and ferns). They have seeds enclosed in fruits, possess vessel elements, and have companion cells.
