Solution

The correct option is A One
The archegonium which develops from a single superficial cell of prothallus is the archegonial initial found just back of the apical meristem. The archegonia are sessile and embedded. The archegonial initially divides to give 4+4 cells which make up the neck. The neck has a single neck canal cell.
