Solution
The correct option is B Seedless vascular plants
The tall club mosses, horsetails and ferns that flourished in the swampy forests of the Carboniferous period gave rise to large deposits of coal all around the world. Coal is a major fuel source deposited by these seedless vascular plants of the Carboniferous period.
