Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
In mosses, after fertilisation, the zygote develops into sporophyte consisting of a foot, seta and capsule. The sporophyte in mosses is more elaborate than that in liverworts. The capsule contains spores. Spores are formed after meiosis and develop into a new gametophyte.
So the correct option is C.
