Solution
The correct option is C Zygote Zygote is the beginning of the sporophytic generation. In pteridophytes, the sporophyte is differentiated into true roots, stem and leaves. Spores are the reproductive structures borne on fertile leaves. These germinate to produce haploid gametophyte.
Gametophyte is the plant body that produces the gametes.
