The correct answer is: zygote
Marchantia is a bryophyte and they are non-vascular plants. Its plant body is thalloid. The first cell of the gametophytic generation is a spore that is surrounded by thick, sculptured walls. They germinate into the gametophyte. In gametophyte male and female gametes will be formed and that will be haploid in nature (n). So when the male gamete fuse with the female gamete results in the formation of the zygote (2n).
