    The correct answer is d: the evolution of a pollen tube eliminated the need for water in the transfer of sperm to the egg

    The main advantage of Spermatophyta, seed plants (Gymnosperms and Angiosperms) is the evolution of the seed which, unlike spore-producing plants, was not limited to wet environments. Pollen grains are male gametophytes (sperm) which are protected from desiccation and can reach the female organs without dependence on water. The sperm is transferred from the pollen through the pollen tube: an extension of a cell within the pollen grain. The process is called pollination.
