The dominant part of the life cycle, i.e., the plant that is recognized as a fern, represents the sporophyte generation. The gametophyte generation includes the phase of the life cycle between the formation of spores by meiosis and fertilization and formation of the zygote
plant phylum and their dominant phase
GAB= gametophyte 'Bryophyta' eg Liverwort, hornswort, mosses
PS= 'pteridophyta' Sporophyte eg Dryopteris, ferns
SS= 'man-fluidatophyta' Sporophyte eg seed plants
Goodluck.

The correct answer is:
*B. sporophyte*
*Explanation:*
In ferns, the *sporophyte* is the *dominant phase* of the life cycle — it’s the large, leafy plant you typically recognize as a fern. The *gametophyte* (called the *prothallus*) is small and short-lived.
