Solution

The correct option is C Bryophytes
  • Bryophytes are known as amphibians of the plant kingdom.
  • The main plant body is a haploid that produces gametes and is known as a gametophyte.
  • After the fertilisation zygote is formed which produces a multicellular body called a sporophyte, which is not free-living but attached to the photosynthetic gametophyte and derives nourishment from it.
So, the correct answer is (C).
