Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $D$. In pteridophytes,the sporophyte produces spores inside sporangia. Most pteridophytes produce only one type of spore,known as homosporous (e.g.,$Equisetum$,$Adiantum$,$Dryopteris$). However,some genera like $Salvinia$,$Selaginella$,$Azolla$,$Marsilea$,and $Isoetes$ produce two different types of spores,known as heterosporous. Therefore,$Salvinia$ is heterosporous.
