Answer: 3. \(\textit{Chlamydomonas}\)

In zygotic meiosis the zygote divides by meiosis first, so the plant body is haploid. This is the haplontic life cycle, seen in Chlamydomonas.

Fucus shows gametic meiosis (diplontic). Funaria and Marchantia are bryophytes with haplodiplontic cycles with sporic meiosis.
