A
seeds
B
spores
C
both of these
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi, moss and fern all three reproduce by a common method of asexual reproduction which is called spore formation. Spore formation occurs in non-flowering plants. Spore are minute structures that are produced by the parent plant and are released into the air.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mosses reproduce by branching and fragmentation, by regeneration from tiny pieces of photosynthetic tissues, and by the production of spores. The spore, under favourable conditions, germinates and grows into a branching green thread, the protonema.

Detailed explanation-3: -Higher plants such as trees reproduce by seeds while lower plants such as mosses and ferns reproduce by spores.
