Assertion : The primany protenema of moss by death and decay of cells may break into fragments.
Reason : Each fragment gives gives rise to leafy gametophyte.

A

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

The correct Answer is:
A
The haploid spores on germination give rise to alga-like filamentous branched portion.called primary protonema. This protonema develops buds, from which leafy gametophyte arises. Sometimes this primary protonema breaks up into small fragments accidentally and these fragments give rise to leafy gametophores.
