C) Gymnosperm

Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
The wood of angiosperms includes vessels, which is known as porous wood.
On the other hand, vessels are absent in the wood of gymnosperms and it is known as nonporous wood.
Gymnosperms are contemplated as ’non-porous’ due to their scarcity of vessel pores. Pines are typical instances of softwood. So, non-porous wood originates in gymnosperms.
Hence, the correct answer is Option (C).
