Solution

The correct option is D Haploid, haploid
A diploid parent plant body produces haploid gametes (by reductional division) and a haploid parent plant body produces haploid gametes (by equational division). As the gametes are to be haploid since after union they will re-establish the ploidy level similar to the parent generation.
So, the correct answer is 'Haploid, haploid'.
