The correct option is B Diploid
Members of phylum Protista shows two type of life cycle. First is zygotic meiosis and second is gametic meiosis. In gametic meiosis organism is diploid and they undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes. These gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote. Diploid zygote undergoes mitotic division and produces diploid individuals. In zygotic meisois, the zygote divides after karyogamy to form haploid cells.
