Solution
The correct option is D Funaria
Plant body which is differentiated into rhizoids, leaf and stem like structures are seen in Bryophyta. Bryophytes are non-vascular terrestrial plants of moist habitats in which a multicellular diploid sporophyte lives as a parasite on an independent multicellular haploid gametophyte.
Bryophytes include the various mosses and liverworts that are found commonly growing in moist shaded areas in the hills. The plant body of bryophytes is more differentiated than that of algae.
Plant body is thallus-like and may be prostrate or erect. They lack true roots, stems or leaves but possess root-like, leaf-like or stem-like structures. The plants body is attached to the substratum by roots-like structure called rhizoids, that may be unicellular or multicellular.
Out of the given options, only "Funaria" is a bryophyte. While "Selaginella" is a pteridophyte, "Araucaria" is a gymnosperm and "Fucus" is a an alga.
So, the correct answer is 'Funaria'
