$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Column I}& \text{Column II}\\ \text{(A)Seeds are formed in fruits}& \text{(i)Fern}\\ \text{(B)No natural covering on seeds}& \text{(ii)Cycas}\\ \text{(C)These plants mainly grow in water}& \text{(iii)Tamarind}\\ \text{(D)These plants need water for reproduction}& \text{(iv)Moss}\\ \text{(E) First vascular plants}& \text{(v)Algae}\end{array}$

• A. A(v), B(i), C(iv), D(iii), E(ii)
• B. A(iv), B(iii), C(i), D(v), E(ii)
• C. A(iii), B(ii), C(v), D(iv), E(i)
• D. A(ii), B(iv), C(v), D(i), E(iii)

Answer 1

The correct option is C A(iii), B(ii), C(v), D(iv), E(i)

Thallophytes are primitive plants that mainly grow in water. E.g. Algae. They grow in fresh as well as saline water.
Bryophytes are considered as the amphibians of the plant kingdom. They grow in moist regions as they require water for reproduction. E.g. Moss.
Pteridophytes are the first vascular plants. E.g. Ferns. Gymnosperms and Angiosperms are higher order plants with seed bearing capacity. Gymnosperms have no natural covering on seeds (E.g. Cycas) and in angiosperms they are enclosed within the fruit (E.g. Tamarind).
