Solution

The correct option is C Diplontic
In diplontic life cycle, the dominant phase is the sporophytic phase. Meiosis occurs in the spore mother cells (diploid) and produces gametophyte. The gametophytic phase is represented by the single to few called haploid gametophytes which are short-lived and is dependent on the photosynthetic sporophyte. This pattern of the life cycle is present in gymnosperms.
