Solution

The correct option is C Multicellular independent sporophyte and gametophyte
Pteridophytes are the only plant groups to have an independent gametophyte and sporophyte. Pteridophytes and seed plants have true roots, stems and leaves. Pteridophytes do not produce seeds.

Antheridium is found in other plant groups such as algae and bryophytes too.
