The correct option is A Pteridophytes
Pteridophytes shows alternation of generation. They exhibit dominant sporophytic generation with an inconspicuous gametophytic generation. The sporophyte is differentiated into root, stem, and leaves. Whereas, the small and inconspicuous gametophyte is independent and autotrophic.
