Answer 1

The correct option is C A-1, B-3, C-4, D-2

The only aquatic bryophyte is Riccia fluitans, or crystalwort, which is a floating bladderwort. Sphagnum is also called as peat moss or bog moss. The sporophyte is completely surrounded by a tough protective covering called the calyptra. The new adult gametophytes grow from a tiny bud that develops on the protonema.
