Solution:

The plant body of Chlamydomonas is gametophyte (haploid). It reproduces asexually by zoospore formation and sexually by gametes. Gametes are isogametes which fuse to produce diploid zygote which is the only structure representing sporophytic generation.
In Pinus, main plant body is sporophyte, same is the case with Selaginella and Dryopteris.
