Solution

The correct option is B Selaginella
Selaginella is a pteridophyte. It is also known Club moss or spike moss. Its leaves are simple, sessile and microphyllous. They have lateral bigger leaves as well as dorsal small leaves. Each leaf bears a small scale on the basal adaxial surface called ligule. Because of these ligules, leaves of Selaginella are called ligulate.
So, the correct answer is 'Selaginella'
