Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
Cryptothallus and Buxbaumia are saprophytic genera of liverworts and mosses and grow upon organic matter such as rotten wood. The rest of the bryophytes are autotrophic. These are saprophytic because they do not produce much chlorophyll to perform photosynthesis.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
