Answer

  1. Most angiosperms, a few gymnosperms and pteridophytes.

Explanation:

A vessel element or vessel member (trachea) is one of the cell types found in xylem, the water conducting tissue of plants.

Vessel elements (tracheae) are typically found in flowering plants (angiosperms) and pteridophytes but absent from most gymnosperms such as conifers. 

So, the correct answer is 'Most angiosperms, a few gymnosperms and pteridophytes.'
