Solution
The correct option is A Haplont
Haplons are organisms whose cell nuclei contain a simple ( haploid ) set of chromosomes. Only the zygote of these organisms occurring in the course of the sexual reproduction possesses a double set of chromosomes , is thus diploid. This is due to the fact that the zygote produced during fertilization next undergoes meiosis (reduction division), from which haploid nuclei emerge again.So the correct option is B. (haplont)
