Solution

The correct option is C Pteridophytes
Vascular tissues include xylem and phloem. Xylem helps in water transport whereas phloem is responsible for transport of nutrients. Pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues.

Alage and bryophytes do not have vascular tissues while gymnosperm have vascular tissues but they are not the first terrestrial plants.
