Solution

The correct option is A Lycopsida
  • Pteridophytes are divided into four classes: Psilopsida, Lycopsida, Sphenopsida and Pteropsida.
  • Selaginella belongs to Lycopsida.
  • Selaginella has small leaves called microphylls.
  • Sporophylls are compactly arranged into structures called strobili or cones.
  • They are heterosporous as they produce two types of spores, macro (large) and micro (small).
So, the correct answer is (A).
