Solution

The correct option is C Pteridophyte
The life cycle of higher plants is dominated by the sporophyte stage, with the gametophyte borne on the sporophyte. In ferns, the gametophyte is free-living and very distinct in structure from the diploid sporophyte. Pteridophytes also have their multicellular sex organs covered in the multicellular jacket later.
So the correct answer should be option 'Pteridophyte' .
