In a moss the sporophyte

1. produces gametes that give rise to the gametophyte
2. arises from a spore produced from the gametophyte
3. manufactures food for itself as well as for the gametophyte
4. is partially parasitic on the gametophyte

Correct answer: is partially parasitic on the gametophyte

Solution

In mosses, the sporophyte remains attached to the gametophyte and gets water and nutrients from it, so it is only partly independent. That makes it partially parasitic on the gametophyte.
