Solution
The correct option is A Algae Algae are mostly haploid. They show haplontic lifestyle i.e. for the most part of the life haploid is the dominant stage. Fusion of gametes results in diploid sporophyte in algae which undergoes meiosis to form haploid gametophyte. There are no free-living sporophytes. The gametophyte is the dominant phase.
