Cycas
B
Pinus

Selaginella
D

Answer
Lycopodium
Explanation
Solution
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.
