Solution
The correct option is D Angiosperms
Angiosperms evolved during the late Cretaceous Period, about 125-100 million years ago. They are highly evolved plants.
As angiosperms evolved in the Cretaceous period, many modern groups of insects also appeared, including pollinating insects that drove the evolution of angiosperms; in many instances, flowers and their pollinators have coevolved.
Angiosperms did not evolve from gymnosperms, but instead evolved in parallel with the gymnosperms; however, it is unclear as to what type of plant actually gave rise to angiosperms.
