Solution

The correct option is D Semiparasitic or parasitic
The moss sporophyte is completely dependent upon the gametophyte for its nutrition. The sporophyte however is responsible for producing spores. The sporophyte is typically not photosynthetic and so is parasitic (dependent) on the gametophyte for its nutrition. Hence the correct option is D.
