Detailed explanation-1: -Gymnosperms are non-flowering plants. They possess naked seeds because their seeds are not enclosed in the fruit as is the case for the Angiosperms. Cycas is an example of gymnosperm. Lycopodium is an example of Pteridophyta and maize is an example of angiosperm.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is Gymnosperms. Cycas is an example of a gymnosperm.
Detailed explanation-3: -It possesses a naked seed, Cycas belongs to the gymnosperm order Cycadales. It is not contained within a fruit. Because there is no double fertilization, the endosperm produced is haploid rather than triploid. As ovules (or seeds) are created inside the fruit, it is not considered angiosperm.
Detailed explanation-4: -So, they are self-pollinating and have a dicot seed. Mango is an angiosperm. Some gymnosperms are Cycas, Ginkgo and Pinus, etc.
