Solution

The correct option is D Sphagnum
Sphagnum belongs to Bryophytes where the gametophytes are independent and free living and fertilisation takes place in water.

In Pinus and Cycas, which are gymnosperms and in mustard which is an angiosperm, the main plant body is sporophytic. Gametophyte is highly reduced and is completely dependent on sporophyte.
