Answer:
Correct option - (C)
Sporocarp is present in Marsilea
Explanation:
Sporocarp is the mother cell for spores which stores and releases the spores. It is present only in aquatic ferns. Although there are other plants that have a derivative of sporocarps. But, only the order Salviniales has true sporocarp structures.
Salviniales has two families - Salviniaceae and Marsileaceae.
In Salviniaceae, the sporocarp is a small sorus with spore-producing tissue covered by a thin layer.
In Marsileaceae, The sporocarp is much more modified with harder coverings.
Marsilea comes under Marsileaceae. Thus, among all the four options, option (c) is the right one. Sporocarp is present on Marsilea.
