Respuesta :

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Ferns are in the group pteridophytes. These plants have a vascular system – which also means they have true roots, stem, and leaves-, however, they produce through spores (not seeds like higher plants-gymnosperms and angiosperms). Other than ferns, other plants in the group are horsetails and club-mosses. Unlike in higher plants, where the gametophyte is the dominant phase of the life cycle, the sporophyte is the dominant phase in pteridophytes and other lower plants.

Answer: B. They have vascular tissue such as xylem and phloem and reproduce with spores.
