Solution

The correct option is C Anthoceros
Anthoceros is a genus of hornworts in the family Anthocerotaceae. The genus is global in its distribution. Its name means 'flower horn', and refers to the characteristic horn-shaped sporophytes, that all hornworts produce. The dark color of the spores is the easiest way to distinguish Anthoceros.
