Solution

The correct option is A Bryophytes
From the point of view of their evolution the Bryophytes stand at level higher than that of Thallophytes but lower than that of Pteridophytes and Phanerogams. The plants belonging to Algae are commonly found in water and rarely on the land, whereas the Bryophytes are land inhabiting plants. Water is still needed for the movement of the gametes of Bryophtes and in their vegetative structure they have adapted themselves to a terrestrial life. The Bryophytes are known as amphibians of the plant kingdom. Hence the correct option is C.
