(a) Prothallus
Explanation
In the fern life cycle, the sporophytic generation includes diploid stages such as sorus, sporangium, and spore mother cell. The prothallus is part of the gametophytic generation, which is haploid and produces gametes. Therefore, the prothallus does not belong to the sporophytic generation.
