Solution

The correct option is C Chlamydomonas
Chlamydomonas undergoes a haplontic life cycle. i.e. most of its life cycle is in the haploid state. The diploid zygote undergoes meiosis to return to the haploid state.
Fucus has a diplontic life cycle. The zygote grows into the sporophytic plant. Funaria and Marchantia are bryophytes, in which both gametophytic and sporophytic stages are prominent. In these, the zygote grows to form the sporophyte as well.
