Answer #1

The correct option is (d) Ovary.

Ovary is a part of gynoecium or female reproductive organ that holds or contains the ovule. It is the enlarged base of pistil located above or below or at the same level or point of connection with the base of petals and sepals. It is present in angiosperms (latest phylum) or flower bearing plants and thus it is not present in phylums before angiosperms as they are not plant bearing phylums.

Option (a) is incorrect because it is present on conifers (gymnosperms), horsetails and club moss.

Option (b) is incorrect because heterospory is present in some pteridophytes and all seed bearing plants.

Option (c) is incorrect because gametophyte character appeared in bryophytes.

Option (e) is incorrect because seed character appeared in gymnosperms and then continued in angiosperms where an ovule gives rise to a seed.
