Correct answer
D. (a)- Salvinia: It is a pteridophyta and heterosporous. (b)- Sphagnum: a moss, provide peat that have long been
Step-by-step solution
Species of Sphagnum, a moss, provide peat that have long been used as fuel, and as packing material for trans-shipment of living material because of their capacity to hold water. Genera like Selaginella and Salvinia which produce two kinds of spores, macro (large) and micro (small) spores, are known as heterosporous.
