The correct answer is b) lignified vascular tissue.

Bryophytes, which include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, are indeed multicellular (a) and have specialized cells and tissues (c). They also have a reduced, dependent sporophyte (d). However, they do not have lignified vascular tissue (b).

Vascular tissue, which includes xylem and phloem, is a characteristic of vascular plants, not bryophytes. The xylem helps with water transport and the phloem with nutrient transport. Lignin is a complex organic polymer that hardens and strengthens the cell walls of vascular plants. Bryophytes, lacking these, are non-vascular plants that absorb water and nutrients directly from their surroundings.
