Solution

The correct option is C haplo-diplontic
Bryophytes exhibit haplo-diplontic life cycle where both the haploid gametophytic and the diploid sporophytic phases are multicellular.

In bryophytes the gametophyte is dominant and alternates with a short-lived sporophytic phase which is totally or partially dependent on the gametophyte.

Haplontic life cycle is exhibited by some algae while diplontic life cycle is exhibited by the seed plants, gymnosperms and angiosperms.
