C.

A- Scutellum, B- Coleoptile, C- Coleorhiza, D- Epiblast

Scutellum is a thin cotyledon in monocots found in the members of the grass family. It is situated towards one side of the embryonal axis. 

Coleoptile is a sheath protecting a young shoot tip in a grass or cereal.

Coleorhiza is a sheath protecting the root of a germinating grass or cereal grain.

Epiblast is a flap- like projection of the coleorhiza, inserted opposite the scutellum.
