• B. The antherozoids are released into water
• C. The antherozoids are biflagellate
• D. Zygote formed undergoes meiosis immediately

Answer 1

The correct option is D Zygote formed undergoes meiosis immediately

Zygote formed In bryophytes is the beginning of the sporophytic generation.
It will repeatedly divide through mitosis and later differentiate to form a sporophytic plant body. Sporophyte comprises of stalk and capsule in case of bryophytes. Sporangium is present within the capsule that contains spore mother cells which will undergo meiosis to form haploid spores. Later these spores germinate to produce a gametophytic body.
So, the correct option is D.
