Solution

The correct option is A Haploid gametophyte
In the life cycle of mosses, the haploid gametophyte generation is the dominant generation and the diploid sporophytic generation is the recessive generation. The gametophyte is the main plant body which occurs freely and exists individually whereas the sporophyte body remains attached to the gametophyte body.
So, the correct option is 'haploid gametophyte'
