Solution

The correct option is A Bryophyta
Bryophytes alternate a gametophytic generation with a sporophytic one. Each of the haploid spores is capable of developing into a multicellular, haploid individual, the gametophyte. Gametophyte is formed from the spores and give rise to the haploid gametes i.e., are sexually reproducing.
In bryophtyes, these are dominant, independent photosynthetic plants.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
