The correct match is:

Assertion $\left(\mathrm{A}\right):$ In pteridophytes, the gametophytes require cool, damp, shady places to grow.

Reason $\left(\mathrm{R}\right):$ Specific requirement and the need for water for fertilization, the spread of living pteridophytes is limited and restricted to narrow geographical regions.

The correct answer is:

Choose correct pair from the following
$\mathrm{I})$ Primary producers: Important step in evolution

$\mathrm{II})$ Specific water requirement for fertilization of Pteridophytes: Restricted to narrow geographical regions

$\mathrm{III})$ Growth of young embryo in female gametophyte: Food cycle of aquatic animals

$\mathrm{IV})$ Colonization of mosses and Lichens on rocks: Ecological significance

Identify the figures given below marked as A, B, C, and D.

Assertion: In Bryophytes & Pteridophytes, the number of male gametes produced is several thousand times the number of female gametes produced.

Reason: A large number of male gametes fail to reach the female gametes during transport.
