Match column I with column II and select the correct option from the codes given below:
`{:(" Column I", " Column II"),("A. Non-vascular", "(1) Gymnosperms,"), (" cryptogams", " angiosperms"),("B. Pteridophytes", "(2) Vascular"), (, " cryptogams"), ("C. Phanerogams", "(3) Algae, bryophytes"):}`

Options

A. A-(3), B-(2), C-(1)
B. A-(2), B-(1), C-(3)
C. A-(1), B-(2), C-(3)
D. A-(2), B-(3), C-(1)

Answer

To solve the matching question, we will analyze the terms in both columns and match them based on their characteristics.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify Non-Vascular Cryptogams (Column I - A)**:
- Non-vascular plants do not have vascular tissues (xylem and phloem).
- Cryptogams reproduce by spores and do not produce flowers or seeds.
- The examples of non-vascular cryptogams include algae and bryophytes.
- **Match**: A (Non-vascular cryptogams) → (3) Algae, bryophytes.

2. **Identify Pteridophytes (Column I - B)**:
- Pteridophytes are vascular plants, meaning they have xylem and phloem.
- They reproduce by spores and do not produce seeds or flowers.
- They are considered vascular cryptogams.
- **Match**: B (Pteridophytes) → (2) Vascular cryptogams.

3. **Identify Phanerogams (Column I - C)**:
- Phanerogams are seed-producing plants.
- They include Gymnosperms (which produce naked seeds) and Angiosperms (which produce seeds enclosed in fruits).
- **Match**: C (Phanerogams) → (1) Gymnosperms, Angiosperms.

### Final Matches:
- A → (3) Algae, bryophytes
- B → (2) Vascular cryptogams
- C → (1) Gymnosperms, Angiosperms

### Correct Option:
Based on the matches, the correct option is:
- **A → 3**
- **B → 2**
- **C → 1**

Thus, the answer is option **1st**.
