Solution

The correct option is B Protonema
Funaria has two distinct and specific stages, initial protonema and mature adult leafy gametophore. The spores under favorable condition germinate into a filamentous green algae-like structure called protonema.
The embryo is the developing offspring which has multicellular cells which differentiate to form fully developed organs.
Antheridia is the male sex organ of algae, mosses, ferns, fungi, and other non-flowering plants.
Archegonia is the female sex organs which help in the development of the ovum.
So, the correct answer is option A.
