For the first question, the answer would be B, that the meiosis in the sporophyte would cease and the reproductive cycle would stop in a drought. This is because many die off in a drought so reproducing is not as common.

Secondly, the next answer would be D, that the spores release from the gametophyte. This is because only females reproduce in these cases.
