Solution

The correct option is B Selaginella
The presence of Ligule - a small tongue shaped appendage on the adaxial side of the leaf near the leaf base is a distinctive feature of the Selaginella. This consists of elongated secretory cells the glossopodium which tends to keep the sporangium wet. Another distinctive feature is the cones or strobilus on which the sporophylls are present.
