D VINOD · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: D
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant Classification and Reproductive Structures
	**Related Topics**:  Plant Kingdom, Seed-bearing plants, Fruits
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of plant groups and their characteristics
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	* Plant produces seeds.
	* Plant lacks fruits.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the major plant groups: Fungi, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms.
		Reasoning: Each group has distinct reproductive features.
	2. Eliminate Fungi: Fungi are not plants and do not produce seeds or fruits.
		Reasoning: Fungi are a separate kingdom.
	3. Eliminate Bryophytes: Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts) lack vascular tissue and do not produce seeds.
		Reasoning: Bryophytes are non-vascular plants.
	4. Eliminate Pteridophytes: Pteridophytes (ferns) have vascular tissue but reproduce via spores, not seeds.
		Reasoning: Pteridophytes are seedless vascular plants.
	5. Identify Gymnosperms: Gymnosperms are seed-producing plants that do NOT develop fruits.
		Reasoning: Gymnosperms have 'naked' seeds not enclosed in an ovary (fruit).
	6. Identify Angiosperms (Implicit): Angiosperms are seed-producing plants that develop fruits. The question explicitly excludes this group.
		Reasoning: Angiosperms are flowering plants with seeds enclosed in fruits.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Fungi are not plants and do not produce seeds.
[B] :x: Pteridophytes do not produce seeds; they reproduce via spores.
[C] :x: Bryophytes do not produce seeds or have vascular tissue.
[D] ✓: Gymnosperms are seed-producing plants that lack fruits (seeds are 'naked').
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing Gymnosperms with Angiosperms: Remember that only Angiosperms produce fruits.
		2. Incorrectly classifying non-vascular plants: Bryophytes are non-vascular and lack seeds.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Focus on the unique reproductive structures of each plant group.
		2. Use mnemonics or visual aids to remember the plant classification hierarchy.
