Solution

The correct option is C The assertion is true but the reason is false
Slime moulds show alternation of generation by having a gamete producing haploid phase and spore-producing diploid phase. The sporangia that contain the spores are from the diploid zygote formed after the fusion of gametes.
hence sporangia represent diplophase.
So, the correct answer is 'If the assertion is true but the reason is false'.
