C	3 and 5
D	5 and 6

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -6. Ferns, club mosses, and horsetails share two characteristics: they have true vascular tissue: a system of tubelike structures inside a plant that water, minerals, and food move through.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Mosses and ferns are alike because they are both non-flowering plants and don’t produce seeds either. They are called gymnosperms. Instead, they produce many tiny spores into the air that spread and grow other mosses and ferns.

Detailed explanation-3: -General Characteristics of Bryophytes: Plants occur in damp and shaded areas. The plant body is thallus like, i.e. prostrate or erect. It is attached to the substratum by rhizoids, which are unicellular or multicellular. They lack true vegetative structure and have a root-like, stem-like and leaf-like structure.
