The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which group of organisms has a dominant gametophytic generation. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Pteridophytes - Gymnosperms - Angiosperms - Bryophytes 3. **Defining Gametophytic Generation**: The gametophytic generation is the haploid phase of the plant life cycle where gametes (sperm and egg) are produced. This phase is crucial for sexual reproduction. 4. **Analyzing Each Group**: - **Pteridophytes**: These are vascular plants (like ferns) where the sporophyte generation is dominant. - **Gymnosperms**: These are also vascular plants (like conifers) with a dominant sporophyte generation. - **Angiosperms**: These flowering plants have a dominant sporophyte generation as well. - **Bryophytes**: These are non-vascular plants (like mosses and liverworts) where the gametophyte generation is the dominant phase of the life cycle. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Bryophytes**, as they exhibit a dominant gametophytic generation. ### Final Answer: **Gametophytic generation is dominant in Bryophytes.** ---
