The correct answer is C) Marsilea.
Vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) are present in vascular plants (Tracheophytes), which include pteridophytes (ferns), gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Marsilea is a genus of ferns, which belong to the group Pteridophyta. Cladophora is a green alga, Penicillium is a fungus, and Anabaena is a cyanobacterium; none of these groups of organisms possess vascular tissues.
