Answer 1

The correct option is C

2 and 5.

Gymnosperms are seed bearing plants in which the seeds are naked. The trees are evergreen, woody and usually dominate the temperate regions. They have a haploid endosperm and most seeds have adaptations for wind dispersal. Triploid endosperm, double fertilisation and the pistil consisting of ovary, stigma and stigma, are all characters highly specific to angiosperms.
