Solution

The correct option is D Roots
True roots are only found in pteridophytes. Bryophytes lack true roots. The male sex organ of both bryophytes and pteridophytes is antheridium. It produces motile sperms called antherozoids. Embryo is formed in both plant groups. Marchantia is a bryophyte and Selaginella is a pteridophyte.
