Solution
The correct option is BHaplo-diplontic Bryophytes exhibit haplo-diplontic life cycle where both the haploid gametophytic and the diploid sporophytic phases are multicellular.
In bryophytes the gametophyte is dominant and alternates with a short-lived sporophytic phase which is totally or partially dependent on the gametophyte.
