Solution

The correct option is C
Alternation of Generations

In lower non-seed bearing plants (cryptogams) a process known as alternation of generations enables reproduction in which the plant oscillates between 2 distinct forms during its entire life cycle. In cryptogams, it manifests in a dominant haploid gametophyte stage that gives rise to a diploid sporophyte stage that will in turn produces a new haploid gametophyte.
