The correct option is B Chlamydomonas
Chlamydomonas

Chlamydomonas is a unicellular algae which is made up of a haploid cell. It forms gametes through mitosis which on fusion form a diploid zygote.

Under favourable conditions. this diploid zygote undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid spores. These germinate to form new organisms. Hence, meiosis takes place after zygote formation. This is also called zygotic meiosis.
