Solution
The correct option is B Indirect germination of spores Mosses are nonvascular plants that fall under the phylum Bryophyta. These feather-like plants grow abundantly in wild surrounding and moist climate where they can absorb water easily from nature. Being non-vascular plants, the haploid spore undergoes indirect germination to produce a protonema or protonemata which is a mass of chlorophyllous thread-like filaments from which arises the leafy gametophytes. This thread like filaments grows easily on damp soil, tree bark, rocks or even concrete making mosses gregarious in nature.
