Solution

The correct option is D Vascular tissue
  • Bryophytes are small, non-vascular plants, such as Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts.
  • They have an independent gametophyte phase in their life cycle, but the sporophytic phase depends on gametophyte for water and nutrient.
  • The male reproductive structure is the antheridium while the female reproductive structure is the archegonium responsible for producing male and female gamete, respectively.
  • Lack of vascular tissue and independent sporophyte are the characteristics features of division Bryophyta.
  • Marchantia is an example of a Bryophyte.

Hence, the correct option is D.
