C.
Three
Statement I, II and III are correct.
In IV statement- sporophyte in mosses is more elaborate than in liverworts.
In V statement- Pinus is a monoecious plant, producing male and female cones every year.
In Marchantia, plant body is strictly dioecious and isomorphic. Sex organs are found in specialised sexual receptacles called anthridiophore and archegoniophore.

Anatropous ovule
Atropous ovule
Campylotropous ovule
Hemitropous ovule
