Solution

The correct option is A Capsule of moss
Mosses have neither pollen nor flowers and rely on water to carry the male gametes (the sperm) to the female gametes (the eggs). The spore capsules are produced after the sperms have fertilized the eggs. As they are produced after fertilisation, these spore capsules are diploid.
So, the correct option is 'Capsule of moss'.
