Solution
The correct option is D Pteridophyte
Amongst Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms, only bryophytes and pteridophytes produce motile sperms which swim in the surrounding medium to reach female gamete for the process of fertilisation. While. in pteridophytes only the dominant generation is diploid. The dominant generation in bryophytes is haploid.
So, the correct answer is 'Option D- Pteridophytes'.
