Mosses evolved first among these groups, appearing around 470 million years ago. They were followed by ferns, which emerged roughly 360 million years ago. Gymnosperms, such as conifers, appeared next around 319 million years ago, and angiOSperms, or flowering plants, evolved later, approximately 140 million years ago. Thus, the correct order of evolution is mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and then angiOSperms.
