Solution
The correct option is C Marchantia
Elaters are present in hepaticopsida (marchantia). Pseudoelators are present in Anthocerotopsida. Single layered capsule wall splits into a number of longitudinal valves, which extend from apex towards the middle of capsule. The valves are rolled back due to annular thickenings in jacket cells. Jerky movement of elaters due to their hygroscopic nature leads to loosening up of spore mass and scattering of spores in air.
