• B. Gymnosperm, Pteridophyta and Angiosperms
• C. Thallophyta, Gymnosperm and Pteriodphyta
• D. Thallophyta, Bryophyta and Pteriodphyta

Answer 1

The correct option is D Thallophyta, Bryophyta and Pteriodphyta

Depending upon the presence or absence of flowers, fruits,
and seeds plants are classified as Cryptogams or Phanerogams. Thallophyta, Bryophyta and Pteridophyta do not produce flowers, fruits and seeds and are hence classified as Cryptogams.
Plants which have special structures for reproduction and produce seeds are classified as Phanerogams. Phanerogams are further classified into - Angiosperms and Gymnosperms.
