  1. Diplontic, Haplodiplontic
  2. Haplodiplontic, Diplontic

  4. Haplotonic, Diplontic

Correct answer: Haplodiplontic, Diplontic

Solution

Ectocarpus shows alternation of generations with both haploid and diploid multicellular phases, so it is haplodiplontic. Fucus has a dominant diploid plant body and the haploid phase is reduced to gametes, so it is diplontic.
