Identify the statement that most accurately describes the plant shown in the given figure:

   
1. This the male prothallus of Marchantia; A is antheridiophore and B is Gemma cup
2. This the female prothallus of Marchantia; A is archegoniophore and B is Gemma cup
3. This the male prothallus of Sphagnum; A is antheridiophore and B is Gemma cup
4. This the female prothallus of spahgnum; A is archegoniphore and B is Gemma cup

Which one is a wrong statement?

(1) Archegonia are found in Bryophyta, Pteridophyta and Gymnosperms.
