Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - The angiosperms are divided into two classes: the dicotyledons and the monocotyledons.

They play an important role in plant succession on bare rocks/soil. Unlike the gymnosperms where the ovules are naked, in the angiosperms or flowering plants, the pollen grains and ovules are developed in specialised structures called flowers. In angiosperms, the seeds are enclosed in fruits. The angiosperms are an exceptionally large group of plants occurring in wide range of habitats. They range in size from the smallest Wolffia to tall trees of Eucalyptus (over 100 metres). They provide us with food, fodder, fuel, medicines and several other commer cially important products. They are divided into two classes : the dicotyledons and the monocotyledons.
