Non-vascular plants must have
A
a host that is shady and moist to live, such as a shady damp rock.
B
have a dry area in order to survive.
C
a strong root system.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvascular plants are commonly found in moist environments so that they are always close to a water source and can absorb the water right into the main part of the plant without relying on roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Seedless vascular plants still depend on water during fertilization, as the flagellated sperm must swim on a layer of moisture to reach the egg. This step in reproduction explains why ferns and their relatives are more abundant in damp environments.
