The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The question asks us to identify the correct match between a group of plants and their respective examples. Let's evaluate each option one by one:

  1. Gymnosperms: Cedrus, Pinus, Sequoia
    • Gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants that have unenclosed seeds.
    • Cedrus (Cedar), Pinus (Pine), and Sequoia are all examples of gymnosperms.
    • They do not have flowers and fruits, which aligns with the characteristics of gymnosperms.

    This match is correct.

  2. Angiosperms: Wolffia, Eucalyptus, Sequoia
    • Angiosperms are flowering plants known for having seeds enclosed within a fruit.
    • Wolffia and Eucalyptus are examples of angiosperms, but Sequoia is not; it is a gymnosperm.

    Therefore, this match is incorrect.

  3. Bryophytes: Polytrichum, Polysiphonia, Sphagnum
    • Bryophytes are non-vascular plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
    • Polytrichum and Sphagnum are mosses, hence bryophytes, but Polysiphonia is a type of red algae, not a bryophyte.

    Thus, this match is incorrect.

  4. Pteridophytes: Equisetum, Ginkgo, Adiantum
    • Pteridophytes are vascular plants that reproduce via spores.
    • Equisetum and Adiantum are pteridophytes, but Ginkgo is a gymnosperm.

    Hence, this match is also incorrect.

Upon evaluating all options, the correct match is Gymnosperms: Cedrus, Pinus, Sequoia.
