Solution

The correct option is C Equisetum
Cones or strobili are compact structures formed due to the aggregation of sporophylls. Sporophyll is a fertile leaf that bears sporangia.

All gymnosperms produce cones and a few pteridophytes like Selaginella and Equisetum also produce cones.

Pteris is a pteridophyte and does not produce cones.
Funaria and Sphagnum are bryophytes.
