Solution

The correct option is B Diplontic life cycle
Meiosis in most of the animals takes place during the formation of gametes (gametogenesis). It is termed as gametic meiosis. When two gametes fuse in fertilisation a diploid zygote is formed. Gametic meiosis results in diplontic life cycle.
So, the correct answer is 'Diplontic life cycle'.
