Answer 2

Club mosses are placed in Lycopsida (Option 3).

Club mosses:

• Club mosses and a few similar extinct plants make form the pteridophyte group known as Lycopsida.
• Any of the 400 seedless vascular plant species that make up club moss (family Lycopodiaceae), the sole family of the lycophyte order Lycopodiales, which is also known as ground pine.
• The number of genera in the family varies depending on the source, and its taxonomy has been controversial.
• The plants are prevalent in northern forests in both hemispheres but are mostly endemic to tropical mountains.
• Low-growing evergreen plants called club mosses with needle- or scale-like leaves.
• Numerous species produce little leaf clusters that resemble cones called strobili, each of which has a kidney-shaped spore capsule at the base.
• The plants are homosporous, which means that only one type of spore is produced by them.
• Depending on the genus, they have terrestrial or subterranean gametophytes that are different in size and shape.
• In some species, almost all of which are found in the north temperate zone, the underground gametophyte depends on a companion fungus for growth.
• In the life cycle, this sexual phase alternates with the spore-producing plant, or sporophyte, which grows aboveground after fertilization.
