Answer 1

The correct option is C First plants to have true roots

First vascular plants were pteridophytes. Presence of true roots, stems and leaves is seen for the first time in pteridophytes.

Spermatophytes are plants that produce seeds. Pteridophytes do not produce seeds.
The first plants to have embryos during developmental stages are bryophytes.
