Which statement is true about reproduction in the Bryophyta?

A) Bryophytes release eggs from the archegonia and sperm from the antheridia, in moist conditions such as early in the morning, when dew is present.
B) Sperm are released when the antheridia rupture, and rely on flagella to swim to the archegonia, which release chemotaxic agents.
C) The sporophyte is dispersed from the capsule by the elaters and is independent of the gametophyte.
D) After fertilisation, the sporophyte is released and germinates as a protonema.
E) Rupture of the annulus releases sporangia, which germinate directly into gametophytes.
