A. alternation of generations

Alternation of generations (also known as metagenesis) is the type of life cycle that occurs in those plants and algae in the Archaeplastida and the Heterokontophyta that have distinct haploid sexual and diploid asexual stages.

Answer:

A. alternation of generations

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, a plant's life cycle has two main parts, namely a diploid and a haploid phase. Since the plant alternates between these two phases in its life cycle, the alternation is typically called the alternation of generations.

Hope this helped!
