    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In Funaria, the archegonia are aggregated into a terminal cluster, stand erect and project from the surface of the female receptacles. The leaves surrounding the archegonial cluster are called the perichaetial leaves. They overlap and close over to the top to protect the archegonia. The archegonia cluster with the surrounding perichaetial leaves constitutes the perichaetium.
