{'liquid endocarp': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'liquid mesocarp': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'coconut': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'degenerated liquid endosperm': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'liquid nucellus': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'water': [65, 15, 80, 129]}
The correct answer is option 4, degenerated liquid endosperm.
The water found in coconuts is actually the liquid endosperm. The endosperm is the part of the coconut that provides nourishment to the developing embryo. In mature coconuts, the endosperm degenerates and transforms into a liquid form. This liquid is what we commonly refer to as coconut water.
Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect. The liquid nucellus refers to the liquid found within the seed of a plant and is not applicable to coconuts. Similarly, the liquid mesocarp and liquid endocarp refer to the pulp and the inner shell of a fruit, respectively, and do not accurately describe coconut water.
Therefore, the answer provided in the question is correct.
