Answer 1

The correct answer is plants with seeds are not dependent on water for reproduction.

Seeds contain a diploid embryo that will germinate into a sporophyte and thus it has a role to nourish and protect that embryo. The main advantage of the seeds is that it has several layers of hardened tissue which prevent desiccation and that allow them to live and reproduce without water.
