A) Statements (I) and (III)
B) Statements (I) and (IV)
C) Statements (II) and (III)
D) Statements (I) and (II)
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
The sporophyte is more developed in mosses rather than liverwort. The simplest sporophyte is found in Riccia, a liverwort, where it is represented by capsule only. The most complex sporophyte is found in Funaria, a moss. However, the most' advanced sporophyte is found in Anthoceros (a homwort) due to the presence of intercalary meristem. Pinus (a gymnosperm) is monoecious plant in which male and female cones are borne on different branches of the same plant.
