Which of the following statements about the alternation of generations in bryophytes is false?

Explanation

In bryophytes, there is an alternation between two distinct generations: the haploid gametophyte and the diploid sporophyte. The gametophyte is independent, while the sporophyte depends on the gametophyte for nutrition. Spores form by meiosis in the sporophyte. However, the sporophyte is diploid, not haploid, and only the gametophyte produces haploid gametes, making option C incorrect.
