Correct answer: C. Bryophyta

  • A. Pteridophyta
  • B. Rhodophyta
  • C. Bryophyta
  • D. Phaeophyta

Explanation

The plant group that produces spores and embryos but lacks vascular tissues and seeds is Bryophyta. Bryophytes are a group of non-vascular plants that includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Bryophytes are typically small and grow in moist environments. Bryophytes reproduce by releasing spores, which can germinate and develop into new plants. Pteridophyta are a group of vascular plants that produce spores, but not seeds. Pteridophytes are commonly known as ferns. Ferns have leaves and vascular tissues, which allow them to transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. Rhodophyta are a group of red algae. Red algae are unicellular or multicellular organisms that live in water. Red algae do not produce spores or embryos. Phaeophyta are a group of brown algae. Brown algae are unicellular or multicellular organisms that live in water. Brown algae do not produce spores or embryos. Therefore, the correct answer is Bryophyta.
