Which one pair of examples will correctly represent the grouping Spermatophyta according to one of the schemes of classifying plants?

Explanation

d. Spermatophyta includes seed-bearing plants and this includes gymnosperms and angiosperms. Acacia and sugarcane both are angiosperms. Pinus and Cycas both are gymnosperms. Rhizopus belongs to Kingdom Fungi and Triticum is an angiosperm. Ginkgo is gymnosperm and Pisum is an angiosperm. So Ginkgo and Pisum correctly represent the grouping Spermatophyta. The correct pair of examples that represents the grouping Spermatophyta (seed-producing plants) according to one of the schemes of classifying plants is: Ginkgo and Pisum Spermatophyta includes a wide range of seed-producing plants, including gymnosperms (like Ginkgo) and angiosperms (like Pisum, which is the garden pea). These examples correctly represent the Spermatophyta group. Other options are explained below: a. Acacia, Sugarcane: Acacia: A flowering plant (angiosperm), Sugarcane: Another flowering plant (angiosperm). b. Pinus, Cycas: Pinus (Pine): A gymnosperm with needle-like leaves, Cycas: Another gymnosperm with palm-like leaves. c. Rhizopus, Triticum: Rhizopus: A fungus, Triticum (Wheat): A flowering plant (angiosperm).
