Solution

The correct option is D Zygote
The gametophytic generation of Riccia consists of the green thallus plant, the sex organs and the gametes. This generation starts with the spores and ends with the fertilisation. The gametes are the last structures produced during the phase. The fusion of gametes leads to the formation of zygote.
