Solution

The correct option is A Both statements 1 and 2 are correct.
  • Bryophytes are known as 'amphibians of plant kingdom' because they are adapted to land as well as water habitats.
  • In their vegetative structure, bryophytes have become adapted to land.
  • But they depend on water for sexual reproduction because the swimming habit is retained by their male gametes, the antherozooids.
So, the correct answer is 'Both statements 1 and 2 are correct'.
