Solution
The correct option is B diplontic life cycle Sporophyte is the asexual and usually the diploid phase in the life cycle of an organism. It produces the spores from where the gametophytes arise.
A diplontic life cycle is where the diploid sporophytic phase is more predominant.
A haplontic life cycle is where the haploid phase is more predominant than the diploid phase.
In both haplo-diplontic and diplo-haplontic life cycles, the haploid and the diploid phases are equally prevalent in their life cycles.
