Solution

The correct option is C Three
Gametophytes of liverworts, mosses and ferns are independent and so are free living. Gymnosperms and some ferns are heterosporous meaning that they have two different types of spores.
sexual reproduction in Fucus, Volvox and Albugo is oogamous meaning they have small flagellated male gamete and large non flagellated female gamete.
The sporophyte of moss is more elaborate than the liverworts
Pinus is monoecious while Marchantia is dioecious.
Hence the correct answer is (C)
