Question:

Cycas is an example of which of the following animal phylum?

Options:

Pteridophyta

Angiosperms

Gymnosperms

Bryophyta

Correct Answer:

Gymnosperms

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Gymnosperms

Cycas is an example of the plant group known as Gymnosperms, not an animal phylum. Gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants whose seeds are not enclosed within a fruit. Instead, they are typically found on the surface of cones or other structures. Cycas is a genus of cycads, which are a type of gymnosperm characterized by their palm-like appearance and cone-bearing reproductive structures. Therefore, Cycas belongs to the plant kingdom and specifically to the phylum Gymnosperms, not to any animal phylum.
