Correct Answer: Pteridophytes


Solution : The correct option is Pteridophytes.

Pteridophytes include ferns, horsetails (which are sometimes mistaken for ferns), and lycophytes, which include clubmosses, spikemosses, and quillworts. But ferns (and horsetails) are more closely related to seed plants than to lycophytes. Hence, they do not constitute a monophyletic group.
