Solution
The correct option is B Phycocolloids
Agar, alginic acid and carragheen obtained from Gracilaria and Chondrus respctively are chemically phycocolloids. The cell walls of many seaweeds contain phycocolloids also called as algal colloids, that can be extracted by hot water. The three major phycocolloids are alginates, agars, and carrageenans. Alginates are extracted primarily from brown seaweeds, and agar and carrageenan are extracted from red seaweeds. These phycocolloids are polymers of chemically modified sugar molecules.
