    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Alternation of generations may be defined as a phenomenon whereby, in the life history of an organism, a diploid asexual phase and a haploid sexual phase regularly alternates with each other. This type of true alternation of generations is also called metagenesis. In coelenterates, an asexual polypoid generation appears to alternate regularly with a sexual medusoid generation.
