Solution

The correct option is C Embryo development within the female gametophyte
Seed habit is the ability to form seeds. In some pteridophytes, the female gametophytes are retained on the parent sporophytes for variable periods. The development of the zygotes into young embryos takes place within the female gametophytes. This event is considered as an important evolutionary step in the development of seed habits.
