Solution

The correct option is C Predominantly gametophyte with dependent sporophyte
In the life cycle of Funaria, two distinct individuals occur. One of these is haploid and is the independent leafy plant. The other is diploid, leafless sporogonium. It is partially dependent on the leafy gametophyte for its nutrition.
