B
bryophytes
C

Detailed explanation-2: -In a bryophyte, all the vegetative organs belong to the gametophyte, which is the dominant and most familiar form; the sporophyte appears for only a short period. The sporophyte is dependent on the gametophyte and remains permanently attached to it in order to gain nutrition and protection.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Zygote undergoes meiosis to produce sporophyte. ‘

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is A. (The sporophyte is dependent on gametophyte for support, shelter and nutrition)
