Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

In the evolutionary progression of plants, the complexity of specialized sex organs like antheridia and archegonia changes:

• Angiosperms (flowering plants) are the most highly evolved group and have completely lost both antheridia and archegonia.

• Instead of these structures, they produce highly reduced gametophytes: the pollen grain (male gametophyte) and the embryo sac (female gametophyte).
