The correct option is C Metroxylon
Extinct species of gymnosperms is Metroxylon. Metroxylon is a genus of monoecious flowering plants in the Arecaceae (palm) family, consisting of seven species. The trunks of Metroxylon species are solitary or clumped and large to massive in size and usually sprout aerial roots at leaf-scar rings. All but one is monocarpic (hapaxanthic), foliage is pinnate with over-sized petioles and leaf sheaths.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
