Solution

The correct option is C Sporangia of sporophytes
Spore producing part of Pteridophytes is sporangia of sporophytes. Reproduction involves production of spores inside special structures called sporangia which occur on the ventral surface of fertile leaves called sporophylls. Sprangia may sometimes be found in groups called sori.
The spores germinate to produce a haploid gametophyte, called prothallus. The homosporous pteridophytes produce bisexual gametophytes while heterosporous pteridophytes produce unisexual gametophytes.
Hence the correct option is C.
