Solution

The correct option is A Colder regions of world
Gymnosperms are more ancient than angiosperms. They were the dominant vegetation on the earth about 200 million years ago, and have been replaced by the angiosperms with the changing time and climatic conditions. They now have dominance only in the colder regions, where instead of rain, snow is the source of water. Only a few gymnosperms, like cycads thrive in warm weather.
Hence the correct option is A.
