Best answer

The correct option is: (d) Lycopodium

Explanation:

In pteridophytes, majority of plants are homosporous (producing similar kind of spores) e.g., Lycopodium. However, plants of genera like Selaginella and Salvinia are heterosporous (producing macro and micro spores). pinus and Cycas, which are gymnosperms, are also heterosporous.
