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).
