Answer:
D. Independent and dominant sporophyte.
Step-by-step explanation:
Pteridophytes and mosses are both non-vascular plants, but they differ in the way their gametophyte and sporophyte generations are arranged.
- In mosses, the gametophyte is the dominant generation, and the sporophyte is dependent on the gametophyte for its survival.
- In pteridophytes, the sporophyte is the dominant generation, and the gametophyte is independent

So the answer is (D). Independent and dominant sporophyte.
