The correct response is both mitosis and meiosis.

In the alternation of generations in plants, there are two distinct phases: the gametophyte generation (which is haploid and produces gametes through mitosis) and the sporophyte generation (which is diploid and produces spores through meiosis). Therefore, both processes are involved in the life cycle of plants.
