Answer
(4) coconut.
Solution
In maize, the seed coat is thin and membranous and is fused with the fruit wall, and in gram and groundnut the seed coat (testa) is a thin, papery membrane around the cotyledons.
In coconut, however, the seed coat is not a thin membrane; the seed lies inside the hard, stony endocarp of the drupe.
∴ Seed coat is not thin, membranous in coconut.
