ANSWER

The plant kingdom is made up of nonvascular and vascular plants. Living groups of nonvascular plants include the bryophytes such as liverworts, hornworts, and mosses. Examples of vascular plants are pines, ferns, corn, and oaks. Comparing the gametophytes of vascular and nonvascular plants it is found that the gametophytes of the vascular plants are not only smaller but also bear smaller sex organs.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
