Comprehension Passage

Directions: Read the following paragraph and answer the questions below.
The Elucidation of Phylogeny from 19th to 21st century marked a remarkable period in the study of the Plant Kingdom, involving three key categories: Flowering plants (Angiosperms), Ferns, and Mosses. The Angiosperms, broadly spread around the globe, were significant in bringing about biodiversity and intricate plant-animal interactions due to their ability to produce flowers and fruits. Comparable to the Pratiharas, they sought to create control over lucrative territories with their adaptive capabilities. The Ferns, occupying the understories of forests and non-forested landscapes, were the equivalent of the Imperial Cholas. Well-known for their ability to survive in shade and moisture-rich habitats, they were a principal component of undergrowth ecosystems, conducting necessary ecological functions. The Mosses, much like the Rashtrakutas of Deccan Plateau, were settled in the cold, damp, and shaded habitats, offering a haven for microfauna and participating in nutrient and water cycling. Their struggle was primarily for the control over suitable habitats and for the availability of light and nutrients, which were essential for their photosynthetic activities. This enduring rivalry represented the territorial, ecological, and evolutionary aspects of the Plant Kingdom.

Which plant category is analogous to the Pratiharas in the historical example, and for what reasons?

1
Angiosperms, because they sought to control lucrative territories with their adaptive capabilities.
2
Ferns, because they are a principal component of undergrowth ecosystems.
3
Mosses, because they settle in the cold, damp, and shaded habitats.
4
None of the above.
