Solution

The correct option is B 1 m
The tallest bryophyte, Dawsonia, is less than 1 m in height. They don’t grow taller because they lack vascular tissues used for conducting nutrients during the long distance transport in the tall plants. This is the reason why mosses (bryophytes) can only grow when they are well hydrated.
