Solution

The correct option is C Zygote undergoes meiosis to produce sporophyte
After the process of fertilisation a diploid zygote is formed which undergoes many rounds of mitosis and give rise to a diploid multicellular sporophyte. The specialised cells of the sporophyte further undergoing meiosis form haploid spores. These spores develop into gametophytes. So, the correct answer is option C.
