Solution

The correct option is B Pteritophytes
Bryophytes are usually small plants that do not attain much height and remain close to the surface of the earth because they do not have an efficient transport mechanism i.e., vascular system is missing. The primitive vascular system was first seen in pteridophytes and greatly evolved in gymnosperms and angiosperms. Thus, pteridophytes are primitive vascular plants.
So, the correct answer is option B.
