Solution

The correct option is B Bryophyta
  • Bryophytes are small, non-vascular plants lacking true roots, stems, and leaves. The plant body may be thalloid or erect. Mosses, liverworts, and hornworts are bryophytes.
  • Marchantia is a bryophyte. It is a type of liverwort. The plant body is thalloid, with root-like structures called rhizoids on the undersurface.
  • Funaria is a genus of moss. It has no vascular system. Spirally arranged leaf-like structures are found. Root-like structures called rhizoids are present.
  • Thallophyta includes simple plants without roots, stems, and leaves.
  • Pteridophytes are vascular plants with true roots, stems, and leaves.
  • Phanerogams are plants with distinct reproductive organs. These include seed-bearing plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms).
  • Hence, the correct answer is option B.
