Seeds of 'Hop' can be distinguished from that of cannabis by the presence of :
Answer: B
The key's answer is Tortoise shell. I could not find a published description of hop seeds in these words, so this follows the key.
Hop (Humulus) is a close relative of cannabis: both belong to the family Cannabaceae, so their fruits can look alike, and a seed examiner needs a feature that tells them apart. The key names a tortoise-shell surface as that feature of the hop seed.
The other three terms, endospermic shell, shrivelled shell and hard shell, are not features I could match to the seed-identification literature, so they are eliminated only on the key's reading.
