Solution
The correct option is A Ferns
Most primitive vascular plants are pteridophytes.
Cycas belongs to gymnosperms. Gymnosperms have a well-differentiated plant body with vascular tissues. They produce naked seeds. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Moss belongs to bryophytes. Bryophytes have a well-differentiated plant body with stem and leaf-like structures. But there is no specialized vascular or mechanical tissue. Therefore, option C is incorrect.
Brown algae belong to thallophytes. Thallophytes do not have well-differentiated plant body and vascular tissues. Therefore, option D is incorrect.
Ferns belong to pteridophytes. Pteridophytes have a well-differentiated plant body with vascular tissues. Therefore, option B is correct.
