Cycas has two cotyledons but not included in angiosperms because of

  1. Naked ovules
  2. Seems like monocot
  3. Circinate ptyxis
  4. Compound leaves

Correct answer: Naked ovules

Solution

Cycas is a gymnosperm, so it is not an angiosperm even though it has two cotyledons. The key difference is that its ovules are naked and not enclosed within an ovary, which is a defining feature of angiosperms.
