Answer:

The correct answer is Bryophytes-mosses and liverworts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bryophytes evolved from the green algae especially Chara which modified to form the first terrestrial plants.

Chara is found attached to the rocks of the shore of the aqueous environment which continuously faced the tides. These algae later evolved into higher plants and formed mosses which belonged to the group bryophytes. they evolved into bryophytes around 470 million years ago during the Ordovician period.

Thus, Bryophytes-mosses and liverworts are the correct answer.
