Solution
The correct option is C Ferns With their large fronds, ferns are the most-readily recognizable seedless vascular plants. They are considered the most-advanced seedless vascular plants and display characteristics commonly observed in seed plants. Ferns are divided into two groups based on the kind of sporangium they possess. The more primitive are the eusporangiate and the more advanced the leptosporangiate.
