1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
I: | They are the first terrestrial plants to possess true vascular tissue |
II: | Main plant is sporophyte |
III: | Water is required for transfer of antherozoids |

Consider the given two statements:
I: | The older botany term ‘vascular cryptogams’ can be applied to the pteridophytes. |

1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct
