Solution
The correct option is A
flowers
In gymnosperms, the seeds are not enclosed within a fruit. However, seeds are present in cones which are the sex organs in gymnosperms. Flowers bear the sex organs in angiosperms. Hence, flowers in angiosperms are functionally similar to cones in gymnosperms.
