Answer

(a) Naked seeds
Explanation: The gymnosperms (Gymnos: naked, Sperma: seeds) are plants in which the ovules are not enclosed by any ovary wall and remain exposed, both before and after fertilization. The seeds that develop post-fertilization, are not covered, i.e., are naked. Since Cycas has naked seeds, it belongs to gymnosperms.
