The correct answer is:
A

In Ginkgo biloba, the male gametes (sperms) are motile. While most gymnosperms and all angiosperms have non-motile male gametes that are delivered via a pollen tube (siphonogamy), Ginkgo and Cycads represent an intermediate evolutionary stage. They produce large, multi-flagellated sperm that use thousands of flagella to swim a short distance through a fertilization fluid to reach the egg.
