Solution
The correct option is D Both A and B
The gymnosperms are comparatively more ancient than the angiosperms in
evolutionary terms. Most of the gymnosperms have now become extinct and
the group is presently represented by only 900 living species. The
living gymnosperms are widely distributed in the cold climates where
snow is the source of water. Cycas and Ginkgo are referred to as living
fossils because they have not yet changed over the years while its
related members or species have become extinct or fossilised. The living
fossil represents a living unchanged example of an extinct group or
genera etc. So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
