The plant that spends most of its time in the sporophyte stage is a conifer. Conifers, which include trees like pines and spruces, have a dominant sporophyte generation in their life cycle. In contrast, mosses have a dominant gametophyte stage, and ferns also have a prominent sporophyte stage, but it's not as dominant as in conifers. Flowering plants (angiosperms) also have a dominant sporophyte stage. However, since conifers have a very pronounced sporophyte stage, they are the correct answer in this context.
