Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
In Pinus (a gymnosperm), the gametophyte is not independent and free-living. Instead, it is dependent on the sporophyte for its nutrition and development. The gametophytes of Funaria (a moss), Marchantia (a liverwort), and Pteris (a fern) are independent and free-living.
