Solution
The correct option is B Pteridophyta
Pteridophytes are also known as 'vascular cryptogams'.
The term 'cryptogams' is made of two Greek words, i.e., 'krypto' - hidden, 'gameein' - wedded, i.e., these are the plants that reproduce by means of spores and do not produce seeds.
They show the presence of conducting tissue in the form of xylem and phloem.
