Solution

The correct option is D

Gymnosperms


The correct option is D.

The explanation for the correct option:

  1. In gymnosperms, male and female gametophytes are found within sporangia on the sporophyte.
  2. Microsporangium pollen grains are carried through the air and come into contact with ovules on megasporophyll.
  3. After fertilization, the zygote develops into an embryo, while the ovule develops into a seed.
  4. The seeds aren't protected.

The explanation for the incorrect options:

Option A:

Reproduction in thallophytes is mostly asexual, and when it is sexual, it is isogamous, anisogamous, or oogamous.

Option B:

In bryophytes, the zygote creates a sporophyte but no seed is produced.

Option C:

There is no seed development in pteridophytes since the zygote creates sporophytes.

Final answer: Gymnosperms produce seeds.
