Solution

The correct option is B pteridophytes
"Cryptogamae" means hidden reproduction, referring to the fact that no seed is produced. Thus, cryptogams represent the non-seed bearing plants. It includes seedless plants like algae, bryophytes and pteridophytes. Of these, only pteridophytes have vascular tissues.

The word “Phanerogamae” means evident marriage, referring to the fact that seed is produced. Thus, phanerogams represent the seed bearing plants. These are also known as spermatophytes. Spermatophytes include gymnosperms and angiosperms.
