Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Gymnosperms are plants in which the ovules are not enclosed by any ovary wall and remain exposed, both before and after fertilisation. The seeds that develop post-fertilisation are thus not covered, i.e., are naked. After fertilisation, zygote develops into an embryo and ovules into naked seeds. They do not bear fruits.
So, the correct option is C.
