Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tracheophytes are plants that have specialized tissues called tracheids, which allow for the transport of water and nutrients throughout the plant. The clades listed in option A all contain plants with tracheids and represent the major groups of living and extinct tracheophytes. Option B includes non-vascular plants, which lack tracheids, while option C includes some non-tracheophyte vascular plants (lycopodiophyta and monilophyta) along with non-vascular plants. Option D includes only a subset of vascular plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms), while option E omits the important group of monilophytes.
