Bryophytes comprise

1. sporophyte of longer duration
2. dominant phase of sporophyte which is parasitic
3. dominant phase of gametophyte which produces spores
4. small sporophyte phase and generally parasitic on gametophyte

Correct answer: small sporophyte phase and generally parasitic on gametophyte

Solution

Bryophytes are characterized by a dominant gametophyte and a reduced sporophyte that stays attached to it. The sporophyte is generally nutritionally dependent on the gametophyte, so the correct description is a small sporophyte phase and generally parasitic on gametophyte.
