Answer;

Chrysophytes
Explanation; -Alternation of generations refers specifically to the alternation between multicellular haploid life stages and multicellular diploid life stages. -The key feature is that both the diploid and haploid stages are multicellular. -Diploid forms (sporophytes) produce haploid spores, which divide and develop directly into multicellular haploid structures (gametophytes). -Gametophytes then produce haploid gametes, which join with other gametes to form diploid sporophytes once again. In simpler words; the diploid and haploid generations alternate, over and over.
