  1. Bryophytes

  2. Pteridophytes

  3. Angiosperms

  4. Gymnosperms

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
A. Bryophytes are the first land inhabiting or terrestrial plants. They are non vascular, terrestrial, non-flowering and non-seeded plants.
B. Pteridophytes are also known as vascular cryptograms. They are seedless vascular plants which have vascularised root, stem and leaves. 
C. Gymnosperms are the naked seeded plants.
D. Angiosperms are seed bearing and flowering vascular plants which have their seeds enclosed in fruits.
Hence, plants with primitive vascular tissue are called Pteridophytes.
So, the correct answer is 'Pteridophytes'.

Scouring rush (Equisetum hyemale) is evergreen, with leafless, hollow, segmented stems with ash-colored bands. Stems grow to about 1/2 inch in diameter and reach up to five feet tall. Because the stems are rough and durable (due to their high silica content), they were called as scouring rushes, because early pioneers used them to scrub pots and pans.

  2. Bryophytes

  3. Algae

  4. Fungi

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Vascular cryptogam is an old botanical phrase and it refers to those vascular plants that do not make seeds. Thus, cryptogam refers to the production of a separate, usually very small, archegoniate gametophyte. These are well represented in the fossil record.

Thus, vascular cryptogams are pteridophytes.
