Solution

The correct option is A Thallophyta
Zygotic or Initial meiosis takes place in Thallophytes. During the process of fertilisation, the two gametes fuse to form a zygote which represents the only diploid stage in the life-cycle. The zygote undergoes meiosis and forms four haploid cells which later on develop into haploid individuals.
So, the correct answer is option A.
