D Correct answer
Explanation

They do not have specialized tissues for the conduction of water & other substances from one part of plant body to another, i.e. they lack vascular tissues. Roots are absent in bryophytes. Instead there are root-like structures known as rhizoids.  Reason: Vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) helps in conduction of water and nutrients throughout the plant
