If the moss species had an efficient conducting system that allowed it to transport water and materials to tall heights, then individuals of the species would likely compete more effectively for access to light. This is because they would be able to grow taller and have a greater chance of reaching sunlight in dense areas. However, there is no reason to believe that fertilisation, spore dispersal, or female reproduction would be affected by such an efficient conducting system, so options A, B, and C are not accurate.
