Solution
The correct option is B Thallophyta
Thallophytes are autotrophic, plant body is thallus-like and devoid of vascular tissues. Both algae and bryophytes have motile sperms and need water for fertilization. But bryophytes can be separated from algae (Thallophyta) because archegonium originated for the first time in bryophytes in the plant kingdom wherein the reproductive organs are covered by a jacket of sterile cells. In algae, sex organs are non-jacketed and unicellular. Hence the correct option is B.
