In the given question only statement III is false.  

The adenoids refer to the glands situated at the posterior of the nose, where the air pathways combine with the passageways in the back of the mouth. The majority of the infectious agents that one breathes in are filtered via the adenoids and are eliminated. The tonsils are situated in the upper throat. They are considered to possess a function in defending against the infections initially in life.

Alex

Answer;

  • rise of chemoautotrophs and photoautotrophs 
  • rise of cyanobacteria - a specific type of phototroph that shares homology with chloroplast genome 
  • rise of eukaryotes 
  • rise of multicellularity 
  • rise of bryophytes - mosses 
  • rise of gymnosperms - conifers, cycads & ginkgo 
  • rise of angiosperms - flowering plants

Explanation;

Plants are multicellular organisms that have evolved the ability to live on land. The vast majority can carry out photosynthesis, but they are not the only organisms with this ability: many protists can photosynthesize too, as can several important groups of bacteria.

Plants are thought to have evolved from a class of freshwater green algae called the charophytes. Two particular groups of charophyte, the Coleochaetales and the Charales, resemble the earliest land plants (bryophytes) in a variety of ways, including the structure of their chloroplasts and sperm cells, and the way their cells divide during mitosis .
