A, B, C and E

B – (True) There are reproductive branches in the modified leaf gymnosperms known as strobiles, in some species strobiles are well developed and known as cones. The seeds are formed on the surface of the cones.
C – (True) Gymnosperms are part of the category of vascular plants, which have sap-carrying vessels, whose main function is the transport of water and nutrients.
D – (False) The seeds of gymnosperms are not protected by fruits, so they are known as "naked seeds".
