Cone-bearing plants
B
Monocots
C
Spore-producing plants
D
Dicots
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants such as ferns and mosses are called nonflowering plants and produce spores instead of seeds. There is also another group called the Fungi, that include mushrooms, and these also reproduce by spores.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most plants produce seeds or spores, but others turn small pieces of themselves into new plants. This is called vegetative or asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, the plant is absolutely identical to, or is a clone of, the parent plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants that reproduce using spores include Ferns (Option A), Mosses (Option B) and Liverworts (Option C). These are primitive plants. The trick is to remember that these plants do not have stems. Also, they have spots and fruiting bodies (liverwort picture) that produce spores.
