Solution

The correct option is C Chlamydomonas
Zygotic meiosis is seen in unicellular algal forms such as Chlamydomonas where the diploid zygote undergoes meiosis to form haploid cells which grow into the individual organsims.

In Fucus, Funaria and Marchantia, meiosis occurs before zygote formation.
