Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

The sporophyte in Marchantia is differentiated into a foot, seta, and capsule. In bryophytes, gametes are produced in the gametophyte through mitotic division. In Marchantia, meiosis in the capsule produces spores that germinate to form a thallus, which is dorsiventral and closely appressed to the substrate.
