In a zygotic life cycle:

A. Haploid cells form gametes that fuse to produce thick-walled diploid zygotes capable of surviving stressful conditions.
B. There is an alternation of generations.
C. The zygote undergoes meiosis and produces many heat-resistant spores that increase the population size and aid in dispersal.
D. Haploid cells form spores that in turn fuse to produce thick-walled zygotes capable of surviving stressful conditions.
E. none of the choices provided.
