The green algae, known as the Charophytes, and land plants are grouped together into a subphylum called as the Streptophytina and are, therefore, called as Streptophytes. Land plants, which are called as Embryophytes, are classified into two major groups according to the absence or presence of vascular tissue. Plants that lack vascular tissue, which is formed of specialized cells for the transport of water and nutrients, are referred to as non-vascular plants or Bryophytes. Non-vascular Embryophytes probably appeared early in land plant evolution and are all seedless. These plants include liverworts, mosses, and hornworts.
Hence the correct option is B.
