Solution

The correct option is B Marchantia
Marchantia multiplies vegetatively by fragmentation, progressive death of older parts, adventitious branches and gemmae. Gemmae are biscuit-shaped multicellular propagules which are borne dorsally inside gemma cups. On germination, each gemma gives rise to a new thallus.
