Solution

The correct option is C Bryophytes
The sporophytes of bryophytes do not have a free-living existence. Typically they are not photosynthetic and so is parasitic. They grow directly out of the fertilized egg in the archegonia neck (which becomes the calyptra) and remain dependent on the parent gametophyte for their nutrition. Hence the correct option is C.
