Solution

The correct option is B heart shaped
Adiantum is a fern. Prothallus is heart shaped. It is a gametophyte of pteridophytes. It is a small, multicellular, independent structure which contain the sex organs. It needs damp places to survive. This is one of the reasons why the pteridophytes are limited in distribution to narrow geographical regions.
