Solution
The correct option is D
gymnosperms
All cryptogams (spore - bearing plants) i.e., thallophytes, bryophytes and pteridophytes require water for their fertilisation process. Phanerogams (seed - bearing plants) i.e. gymnosperms and angiosperms on the other hand, do not require water for their fertilisation process.
