mosses & gymnosperms
B
mosses & angiosperms
C
angiosperms & gymnosperms
D
mosses & ferns
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Produced by the sporophyte (i.e., spore-bearing) generation, plant spores give rise to the haploid gametophyte (i.e., gamete-bearing) generation. Spores are most conspicuous in the non-seed-bearing plants, including liverworts, hornworts, mosses, and ferns.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ferns, mosses, liverworts and green algae are all plants that have spores.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction known as fragmentation occurs when a piece of the moss grows to create a new moss. Mosses employ this to increase their chances of surviving.

Detailed explanation-4: -They produce single-celled spores which are similar to flowering plants. The spores reside inside the brown capsule on the seta, which is a long stem-like supporting stalk.
