Solution

The correct option is B Funaria
Protonema is a thread-like chain of cells that forms the earliest stage (the haploid phase) of a bryophyte, like Funaria life cycle. When a moss first grows from the spore, it grows as a protonema, which develops into a leafy gametophore. Hence, option B is correct.
