    D)                 germination of spores

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    In the ferns the sexual reproduction takes place through spores which are borned in sporangia. Sporangium is a diploid structure it bears diploid spore mother cells which undergo meiosis and produce haploid spores. Each spore contains an outer thick brown wall called exine and a thin innerwall called intine. Spore is the first cell of gametophyte. On germination, it gives rise to a haploid gametophytic stage.
