Solution

The correct option is D Cycas
Gametophytes represents the haploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of plants which shows alternation of generations. While in bryophytes, the gametophyte is the longer lived and nutritionally independent stage in their lifecycle, the largest gametophyte is however that found in gymnosperms and that too in Cycas.
