Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Gamete-producing plants are the gametophyte stage of the plant life cycle. This is in contrast to sporophytes, which produce spores, and heterosporophytes, which produce both male and female spores. Fruits are structures produced by plants to protect and disperse seeds, so they are not the same as a gametophyte plant. Similarly, homosporophytes produce spores, but they are not necessarily gamete-producing plants.
