Match the columns.
| Column A (Plant Group) | Column B (Example) |
| i. Bryophyta | a. Rose |
| ii. Pteridophyta | b. Pine |
| iii. Gymnosperms | c. Mosses |
| iv. Angiosperms | d. Selaginella |
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. i-c, ii-d, iii-b, iv-a.
The correct matching between the plant groups and their examples is:
i. Bryophyta – c. Mosses
ii. Pteridophyta – d. Selaginella
iii. Gymnosperms – b. Pine
iv. Angiosperms – a. Rose
Bryophyta includes non-vascular plants like mosses. Pteridophyta comprises vascular plants such as ferns and Selaginella. Gymnosperms are seed-producing plants like pine trees that do not produce flowers. Angiosperms are flowering plants, with rose being a common example. Therefore, the correct answer is: i-c, ii-d, iii-b, iv-a. This classification highlights different plant groups based on their structure and reproduction methods.
