The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Pteridophyta**: Pteridophyta, commonly known as ferns, are a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have true roots, stems, and leaves. 2. **Types of Leaves in Pteridophyta**: Pteridophytes can have two distinct types of leaves: - **Microphylls**: These are small leaves with unbranched veins. An example of a plant with microphylls is Selaginella. - **Megaphylls**: These are larger leaves with multiple and branched veins. An example of a plant with megaphylls is the common fern. 3. **Conclusion**: Since Pteridophyta can have both microphylls and megaphylls, the correct answer to the question is that the leaves of Pteridophyta are both types. Therefore, the correct option is "both 1 and 2". 4. **Final Answer**: The leaves of Pteridophyta are both microphylls and megaphylls (Option 3). ---
