Solution
The correct option is D Spore dispersal
The sporophyte of a Bryophyte (moss, liverwort or hornwort), generally consists of a foot, seta and capsule. The mature capsule is filled with spores mingled with sterile cells or elaters and opens by splitting into valves. Elaters are present in hepaticopsida (marchantia),while pseudoelators are present in Anthocerotopsida. Elaters are tubular cells with spiral thickenings and often help in spore release.Hence the correct option is D.
