If the cotyledons are pushed above the soil, then such type of germination is called:

1. Epigeal
2. Hypogeal
3. Perigeal
4. Progeal

Epigeal

Reason — In epigeal germination the cotyledons and the plumule comes out from the soil.
In hypogeal germination, the cotyledons remain below the soil surface. The epicotyl (part above cotyledons) grows and forms the shoot.
