Solution:

Pteris has a multicellular gametophytic prothallus which has both antheridia and archegonia. Funaria has a bisexual leafy gametophyte which is the dominant phase of life. In both Lilium (an angiosperm) and Pinus (a gymnosperm) male gametophyte is highly reduced and is 2 celled and 3 celled respectively. Thus male gametophyte with least number of cells is present in Lilium.
