Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Gymnosperms generate seeds that have a protective coating. Unprotectec seeds, separate female and male gametes, wind pollination, and tracheids are all features of these plants.

Tracheids - that carry water and solutes through the vascular system.

Answer:

The correct option is C. Gymnosperm

Step-by-step explanation:

Gymnosperms can be described as plants which produce seed but lack fruit. Unlike the angiosperms, these species do not have protective layers around their seeds. Examples of gymnosperms include conifers, cycads etc. Conifers are the most abundant type of gymnosperms. Along with seeds, gymnosperms are also known to produce cones. Gymnosperms do not produce flowers. Unlike the angiosperms, the gymnosperms do not have cotyledons and the endosperm of gymnosperms is haploid.
