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.
