Two factors contributed to the success of the pteridophytes: the extreme miniaturization of the gametophytic generation and an important development of the sporophytic generation (development of the tree forms).
Pteridophytes are a group of plants that peaked in the Carboniferous (-300 million years). It is the first great terrestrial plant civilization. These plants would have appeared in the Devonian -400 million years ago, perhaps from certain primitive terrestrial plants which, unlike bryophytes, would have favored the diploid generation on the haploid generation.
Particularly well adapted to terrestrial life, they have created, thanks to the development of tree forms, immense forests whose fossilization is at the origin of coal deposits.
Pteridophytes are at the origin of an evolutionary lineage based on the extreme miniaturization of gametophytic generation and an important development of sporophytic generation, leading to all tracheophytes including current flowering plants. Pteridophytes are well adapted to terrestrial life, however fertilization still requires the presence of water since male gametes are swimmers.
It's either 3.5 or 1.2
There would be more evidence spread out through space to be noticed by scientists and it seems like a stretch to go as far back as 4 billion years ago.
(I mean really? That much before the DINOSOURS died? I don't think so)

The answer is b) raccoon!
only 10% of energy is passed to organism from the food.
so the raccoon, which is the highest in the food chain, will have the lowest amount of energy.
hope this helps!!
