(C) The perisperm is the persistent nucellus in a seed. In most seeds, the nucellus is consumed during the development of the embryo. However, in some plants like black pepper $(Piper \, nigrum)$ and beet, the nucellus remains as a thin, dry layer surrounding the endosperm. This residual, persistent nucellus is known as the perisperm.
