Best answer

Answer: 3. \(Sequoia\) is one of the tallest trees

Sequoia (the redwood, a gymnosperm) is among the tallest trees, so option 3 is correct.

1: Gymnosperms are all heterosporous, none are homosporous, so this is false.
2: Salvinia is a heterosporous water fern (pteridophyte), not a gymnosperm.
4: Gymnosperm leaves (needles with thick cuticle and sunken stomata) are well adapted to extreme climates.
