Solution

The correct option is C Liverworts
In bryophytes (liverworts), embryo formation occurs in the gametophytic thallose body. During sexual reproduction in liverworts, male and female sex organs are produced either on the same or on different thalli. The sporophyte formed is differentiated into a foot, seta, and capsule. After meiosis, spores are produced within the capsule. These spores germinate to form free-living gametophytes.
So, the correct answer is option D.
