Solution

The correct option is C Gamete formation
●In the diplontic life cycle the dominant phase of the organism’s life is the diploid sporophyte.
●The gamete mother cells present in the reproductive organs of these organisms undergo meiosis in order to form gametes.
●Fertilisation or fusion of gametes produces a diploid zygote which undergoes mitotic divisions to develop into a new individual.

Zoospores are asexual motile spores formed through mitosis.

Spore germination results in the formation of a new individual by mitotic cell divisions.

(D) Gamete formation
