Solution

The correct option is C Bryopsida
The Bryophytes are not differentiated into true leaf, stem and roots but they have similar structure. They possess hair like rhizoids, which fix them to substratum. In absence of roots, thallus absorb water and minerals directly from ground or atmosphere. Hence, they can thrive only on moist places. In the above options the right option is Bryopsida. Hepatocopsida is the class of Bryophytes, which have dorsiventrally flattened lobed plant body with unicellular rhizoids. The other two classes belongs to division Pteridophyta.
