Mosses are higher bryophytes. Their sporophyte is although remain attached on gametophyte, but at maturity it become green at some regions, so become photosynthetic. Thus it become partially dependent and partially independent to gametophyte. Thus it act as partially parasitic on the gametophyte. On the other hand, gametes are formed by gametophyte in gametangia. Spores are formed by sporophyte in capsule or sporangia. In bryophytes, sporophyte never make food for gametophyte body. Instead sporophyte is dependent on gametophyte completely (as in liverworts) or partially ( as in mosses). So correct answer of this question is option (4) .
