Gymnosperms include medium sized trees or tall trees and shrubs. Leaves of these plants are well adapted to withstand extremes of temperature, humidity and wind. Reproductive organs are usually in the form of cones or strobili.
The male cones are made up of microsporophyll and female cones are made up of megasporophyll. The presence of sporophyll (micro and megasporophyll) shows the development of seed habit but seeds develop from naked ovule and are not covered.
Other options are incorrect because monocots and dicots belong to angiosperms which have well developed covered seeds. Whereas, pteridophytes do not have microsporophylls and are not adapted to the above said conditions.
