Sporophyte in Nephrolepis is diploid and the spores are haploid. The sporophyte, is the most conspicuous phase, and is so-named because this is the stage, that produces the spores; it is the sporophyte, that most of us refer to when we describe or name a fern. Spores are haploid, as it is synthesized by meiosis.
Hence the correct option is A.
