Solution
The correct option is A 2 flagella
The male sex organs in bryophytes are called as antheridia. They are borne on short multicellular stalks. Each antheridium is distinguishable into a stalk and the body. The antheridial body consists of a mass of androgonial cells covered by a 1-cell thick sterile jacket. These androgonial cells give rise to androcytes or antherozoid mother cells. Androcytes give rise to antherozoids. Antherozoids or spermatozoids are bi flagellate structures with a long coiled body. The antherozoids get transferred to archegonia by means of water for the fertilization.
Hence the correct option is A.
