Solution
answer is d.
except sporophytes of bryophytes rest produce multiple sporangia. In bryophytes such as hornworts, mosses and liverworts, an unbranched sporophyte gives rise only to a single sporangium whereas in other embryophytes, the land plants the sporophytes can produce multiple sporangia.
Gametophytes give rise from the spores of sporagium. two different kinds of spores are produced in hetreosporous plants giving rise to microspore (male gametophyte) and megapsores (female gametophytes). homosporous produce single kind of spores by meiosis.
