Xylem
and phloem are the vascular tissues. Xylem transports water and minerals while
phloem conducts organic food. Ferns are the pteridophytes. They are the first
terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues. Mosses are the bryophytes. They
are non-vascular terrestrial plants of moist habitats.
So, ferns show the presence of vascular tissues and mosses show the absence of vascular tissues.
Hence the correct option is C.
