Consider the following four statements whether they are correct or wrong,
(A) The sporophyte in liverworts is more elaborate than that in mosses.
(B) Salvinia is heterosporous.
(C) The life-cycle in all seed-bearing plants is diplontic.
(D) In Pinus, male and female cones are borne on different trees.
The two wrong statements together are

Selaginella and Salvinia are considered to represent a significant step toward evolution of seed habit because:
