A
produces seeds inside of cones.
B
produces flowers and fruit.
C

D
produces spores rather than seeds.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Angiosperms are plants that produce flowers and bear their seeds in fruits. They are the largest and most diverse group within the kingdom Plantae, with about 300, 000 species. Angiosperms represent approximately 80 percent of all known living green plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Angiosperms are flowering plants. They make up around 80 percent of all the living plant species on Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both gymnosperms and angiosperms can produce fruits.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fruits are another evolutionary adaptation present in angiosperms. Once the plants are pollinated and the ovules fertilized, the ovary grows into a fruit. One of the main functions of the fruit is to assist in the dispersal of the seeds, which is achieved through different mechanisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -The success of angiosperms is due to two novel reproductive structures: flowers and fruit. The function of the flower is to ensure pollination. Flowers also provide protection for the ovule and developing embryo inside a receptacle. The function of the fruit is seed dispersal.
