A
Correct answer
Explanation
Reason: Amphibian - means land animal that breeds in water
Bryophyte represents a unique group of plants intermediate between the predominantly aquatic thallophytes and terrestrial pteridophytes. They occupy and inhabit a zone, which is neither completely land nor completely water. It is for this reason bryophytes are often regarded as amphibians of plant kingdom. Like amphibians, bryophytes also can survive on land and require water for fertilization.
