Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
 
Assertion (A): The spread of living pteridophytes is limited and restricted to narrow geographical regions.
Reason (R): Evolutionarily, pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues – xylem and phloem.
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.

A plant has a diploid sporophyte as the dominant, independent, photosynthetic, vascular body. It alternates with multicellular, saprophytic/autotrophic, independent but short-lived haploid gametophyte. This plant most likely belongs to:
1. Red algae 2. Bryophytes
3. Pteridophytes 4. Gymnosperms
