Question

study the image
which describes the geological time of the first land
plants?
mosses appeared after the first flowering plants
aquatic flora appeared many years ago.
the first flowering plants appeared around 240
million years ago
the first flowering plants were introduced toward
the end of the mesozoic era

Explanation:

• Mosses are non - flowering plants. Flowering plants (angiosperms) evolved after non - flowering plants like mosses. So, the statement “Mosses appeared after the first flowering plants” is incorrect.
• The question is about the geological time of the first land plants (which are non - aquatic). So, the statement “Aquatic Flora appeared many years ago” is not relevant to the question about the first land plants.
• The Triassic period (part of the Mesozoic era) started about 252 million years ago. The first flowering plants (angiosperms) did not appear around 240 million years ago. They appeared later in the Mesozoic era.
• The Cretaceous period is the last period of the Mesozoic era. Flowering plants (angiosperms) first appeared in the Cretaceous period (toward the end of the Mesozoic era).

Answer:

The first flowering plants were introduced toward the end of the Mesozoic era.
