    D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Pteridophytes are a group of plants that include ferns, horsetails, and clubmosses. They are characterized by having vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) for the transport of water, minerals, and nutrients. The term "cryptogams" historically referred to plants that reproduce by spores and lacked seeds. So, pteridophytes are vascular cryptogams.
