Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
Gymnosperm- a group of vascular plants that produce naked seeds not enclosed in an ovary, that were formerly considered a class Gymnospermae of seed plants.
The gymnosperms have their ovules freely exposed before and after fertilization. They are not enclosed by any ovary wall. The seeds formed by them lack the seed coat. Hence, due to the absence of ovary wall and seed coat, their seeds are naked.
