Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
The life cycle starts with the sporophyte, which bears sporangia on sporophylls . Sporangia produce spores through meiosis . These spores germinate to form multicellular, free-living gametophytes . Gametophytes facilitate the transfer of male gametes, antherozoids, which fertilize the egg in the archegonium . The resulting zygote develops into a new multicellular sporophyte (E), continuing the cycle.
