The correct answer is:
D

Chara is a green alga (Charophyceae) that exhibits a haplontic life cycle, where the dominant plant body is haploid and the zygote is the only diploid stage.

The zygote undergoes meiosis immediately after formation, producing haploid germlings (zygotic meiosis).

Pinus (Gymnosperms) and Pteridium (Pteridophytes/Ferns) show haplodiplontic life cycles with sporic meiosis.

Funaria (Bryophytes) also shows a haplodiplontic life cycle with sporic meiosis.
