Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

In liverworts, spore dispersal is aided by elaters – elongated, spiral or helical cells that twist and untwist with humidity changes, helping to scatter spores.

• Peristome teeth – found in mosses, not liverworts

• Indusium – a cover over sori in ferns

• Calyptra – a protective cap over the capsule in mosses
