Solution
The correct option is A Naked seeds
Gymnosperms are seed-bearing plants that lack the combination of specialized features that characterize the flowering plants (Angiosperms). The name gymnosperm means naked seed; that is, the seeds are not enclosed within fruits.
Gymnosperms, then, are all fruitless seed plants. And they are made up of a heterogeneous group of plants characterized by the production of naked seeds.
