Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Archegoniatae, atracheophytic, embryophytic

Bryophytes are the first amphibians, first embryophytes, first archegoniates, first land inhabiting plants and the first ones to have heteromorphic alternation of generations. Bryophytes are non vascular plants as they do not have vessels. Hence, they are atracheophytes too.

So, the correct answer is 'Archegoniatae, atracheophytic, embryophytic'.
