True
B
False
C
Only non vascular plants have roots stems and leaves
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants include liverworts, hornworts, and mosses. They lack roots, stems, and leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Non-vascular plants are those without a vascular system (that is they lack xylem and phloem ) and grow from spores. They do not have roots, stems, or leaves (although the lobes of some liverworts can look like leaves).

Detailed explanation-3: -Nonvascular plants lack seeds and vascular tissue. These plants are very short because they cannot move nutrients and water up a stem. The “horn” part of the name comes from their hornlike sporophytes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Non vascular plants typically are small plants circumscribed in size as a result of poor transportation means of gases, water and other compounds. Vascular system is absent in non-vascular plants. A few algae, liverworts, hornworts and mosses are nonvascular plants.
