Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Many land plants, especially seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms), exhibit heterospory, meaning they produce two types of spores: microspores (which develop into male gametophytes) and megaspores (which develop into female gametophytes).

Hint

Consider the reproductive structures of more complex land plants.
