the prefix \sporo - \ in \sporophyte\ tells you what about the plant?
the plant is vascular.
the plant is haploid.
the plant is diploid.
the plant is nonvascular.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In plant biology, a sporophyte is the diploid (2n) phase of a plant's life cycle that produces spores through meiosis. The prefix "sporo - " relates to spores, and the sporophyte generation is diploid. Vascular/non - vascular is not indicated by "sporo - ", and haploid is the gametophyte phase, not associated with the "sporo - " prefix in this context.

Answer:

C. The plant is diploid.
