Solution

The correct option is C Fern
Pteridophyte involves horsetails and ferns. These are first terrestrial plants to possess vascular bundles that are the xylem and phloem. The main plant body is sporophyte (2n) which is differentiated into true stem and leaves. The plant body produces flagellated sperms or antherozoids for the reproduction.
So, the correct option is 'fern'
