Answer 1

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct.

Plants like mosses and ferns reproduce through spores. Spores are asexual reproductive bodies. Sori are the spore forming bodies in ferns. Each spore is covered by a hard protective coat. This helps them to withstand unfavorable conditions. Under favorable conditions, a spore germinates and develops into a new individual.
