Solution
The correct option is BBryophyta
Bryophytes are so called because even though they are terrestrial plants, they require water for their fertilization process. The sperms are carried in water, which results in fertilization.
Bryophytes include the various mosses and liverworts which are usually found in moist shaded areas in the hills. Bryophytes are also called as amphibians of the plant kingdom because they can live on soil but need water for sexual reproduction. They are usually found in damp, humid and shaded localities.
