Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
A life cycle characterized by a haploid thallus, and zygotic meiosis is called haplontic life cycle.
It is also called as haplobiontic because only a single type of free living individual is involved in the life cycle.
Spirogyra shows haplontic life cycle and therefore, it also shows zygotic nucleus.
