Solution

The correct option is D
Sphagnum

Gametophytes are independent and free-living in bryophytes like Sphagnum. Mustard and castor belong to angiosperms and Pinus is a gymnosperm. In the life cycle of seed-bearing plants, the sporophyte is the dominant phase and forms the plant body while the gametophyte is highly reduced and is borne and dependent on the sporophyte.
