Answer : 3. "cryptogams"
Explanation :

The plants that never produce flowers are called "cryptogams." Cryptogams include plants such as ferns, mosses, liverworts, and algae. Unlike flowering plants (angiosperms), which reproduce through seeds enclosed within flowers, cryptogams reproduce through spores and do not produce true flowers. Cryptogams are considered more primitive in evolutionary terms compared to angiosperms, which are the most dominant group of plants on Earth today.
