  • D

Solution

Vessels are typically found in flowering plants that are angiosperm and absent in most gymnosperm. Related Theory Gnetophyta is an odd group of species belonging to gymnosperms. Most gymnosperms do not possess vessels in their xylem as opposed to angiosperms which have both tracheid and vessels. However, gnetophytes belonging to gymnosperms are an exception. They possess vessels.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
