Solution
The correct option is D meiosis
Sporophytes are diploid. They undergo meiosis to form the haploid gametophytic generation. Male and female gametophytes give rise to the male and female gametes respectively. These gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote which marks the beginning of the sporophytic generation. Hence, the alternation of gametophytic generation from a sporophytic generation occurs as a result of meiosis.
