Solution
The correct option is A Ovary wall
Gymnosperms are called naked seed plants because they lack Ovary wall, ovary and hence fruit. They are exposed.
The botanical term "gymnosperm" means "naked seed" in Greek. Gymnosperms include species such as conifers and cycads that do not enclose their seed in fruits.
