Spore-bearing vascular plants such as ferns, club mosses, and horsetails are called what?

• A. Ferns, Club Mosses, Horsetails
• B. Sacrum
• C. Tibia
• D. Ulna

Answer: (A)

Spore-bearing vascular plants reproduce by spores and have vascular tissue, not seeds or flowers. The group that includes ferns, club mosses, and horsetails is called pteridophytes, a term you’ll see to describe these non-seed plants that still have tissues for transporting water and nutrients. The option that lists those exact plants—Ferns, Club Mosses, Horsetails—directly names the members of that group, so it identifies the correct category. The other choices are bones in the human skeleton (sacrum, tibia, ulna), which have no relation to plant groups.
