Solution

The correct option is C Gymnosperms
In Gymnosperms, the male and female gametophytes do not have an independent free-living existence. They remain within the sporangia, retained on the sporophytes i.e., female gametophyte within megasporangium and male gametophyte within microsporangium.
So, the correct option is C.
