Solution

The correct option is C Swimming sperm
Ferns have flagellated (swimming) sperms that need a thin film of water to swim between the male gametophyte (antheridium) and the female gametophyte (archegonium). They are therefore found mostly in moist habitats.
So, the correct option is 'swimming sperm'.
