Solution
The correct option is C Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
In gymnosperms and angiosperms, the diploid sporophyte is the dominant, photosynthetic, independent phase of the plant. The gametophytic phase is represented by the single to few-celled haploid gametophyte. The gametophytes depend on the sporophytes and lack an independent, free-living existence.
In Bryophytes and Pteridophytes the gametophytes are independent and free-living.
