Solution
The correct option is B Bryophyte
According to the features described, the unknown plant belongs to bryophytes. Bryophytes refer to a group of plants comprising the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They do not have a true vascular system, so no xylem and phloem. They are hence unable to pull water and nutrients up from the ground at any significant distance. This distinguishes bryophytes from ferns and flowering plants.
