Answer:

d. both haploid and diploid multicellular organism

Explanation:

Alternation of generation simply means the alternation of life cycle of a sexually multicellular reproducing living organisms between the haploid state and the diploid state. It means both state of living exist at some points in the life of the organisms.

The correct option is d.

Answer:

D) Both haploid and diploid multicellular organisms.

Explanation:

Alternation of generations,a reproductive cycle of certain vascular

plants, fungi, and protists can be defined as the alternation of

multicellular diploid and haploid forms in the organism's life cycle,

regardless of whether or not these forms are free-living.

All plants undergo a life cycle that takes them through both haploid

and diploid generations. The multicellular diploid plant structure is

called the sporophyte, which produces spores through meiotic

(asexual) division. The multicellular haploid plant structure is called

the gametophyte, which is formed from the spore and give rise to the

haploid gametes.

The fluctuation between these diploid and haploid

stages that occurs in plants is called the alternation of generations.
