Solution

D.

The biodiversity of bryophytes is greater than that of angiosperms

The biodiversity of bryophytes is less than that of angiosperms. Bryophytes are plants that can live in soil but are dependent on water for sexual reproduction.

Angiosperms are much advanced plant species which consist of male sex organ (stamen) and female sex organ (pistil) borne in a flower.
