Bryophytes and Hepatophytes tend to be found in moist environments because

  1. both small

  2. contain vascular tissue

  3. rely on osmosis to transport materials

  4. don't produce seeds

C Correct answer
Explanation

Bryophytes and hepatophytes lack true vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) to transport water and nutrients efficiently over long distances. Consequently, they rely on osmosis and diffusion, which requires a moist environment to prevent desiccation and facilitate reproduction.
