The answer to this question about the evolution of the gymnosperm plants would be C. They evolved after the seedless vascular plants.
Gymnosperms, or sometimes termed as seed plants, are classified as vascular plants and has been thriving for centuries on earth through producing seeds. They are multicotyledonous and are the opposite of flowering plants. Conifers would be the most abundant group of gymnosperms while the cycads come in second. Gingko would place last with just having one species under its name.

Explanation:
Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) are two electrolytes that play important role in the absorption of water and nutrients in the small intestine. However, as mentioned in the question, the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines. This is because of the OSMOTIC phenomenon.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration of water/low concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of water/high concentration of solute via a semipermeable membrane. In this case, the Na+ and Cl- ions serve as the solutes, which when released out of the intestine causes the solution in the intestines to be HYPOTONIC compared to the intestinal environment. This causes an OSMOTIC GRADIENT.
This osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concentration provokes osmotic flow of water from the intestines, which has a low solute/high water concentration, to the outside of the intestines, which has a high solute/low water concentration. Hence, water is lost from the intestine because the solute concentration becomes low when sodium and chlorine ions are released.
