The correct answer is: Polytrichum
The sporophyte in mosses is more elaborate than that in liverworts. The capsule contains spores. Spores are formed after meiosis. The mosses have an elaborate mechanism of spore dispersal. Common examples of mosses are Funaria, Polytrichum, and Sphagnum. Polytrichum is a genus of mosses - commonly called haircap moss.
