Solution
The correct option is C If the assertion is true but the reason is false The bryophytes have evolved a life which comprises two phases-gametophyte and sporophytes. The gametophyte (haploid) is concerned with sexual reproduction and constitutes the most conspicuous, nutritionally independent phase in the life cycle. The sporophyte is dependent partly or wholly on the gametophyte for nutrition.
So, the correct answer is 'If the assertion is true but the reason is false'
