Solution

The correct option is C diplontic life cycle
The diploid sporophyte is the dominant, photosynthetic, independent phase in the plants exhibiting diplontic life-cycle.
The gametophytic phase here is represented by the single to few-celled haploid gametophyte.

In a haplontic life cycle, the haploid phase is more predominant than the diploid phase.

In both haplo-diplontic and diplo-haplontic life cycles, the haploid gametophytic phase and the diploid sporophytic phase are both multicellular.
