Malik discovers a plant while out on a walk. The leaves have vascular tissue, so it is clearly a tracheophyte, but he would like to narrow it down more. After further study, Malik observes that the plant has non-flagellated sperm, a seed that develops in an exposed ovule, and possess both vessels and tracheids.

Based on this information, this plant is most likely a member of which phylum?

-Phylum Coniferophyta
-Phylum Anthophyta
-Phylum Gnetophyta
-Phylum Ginkgophyta
-Phylum Cycadophyta
