Solution

The correct option is C Chlorella
Chlorella is an alga with extremely important health benefits. It contains nearly 50% of proteins. It also contains certain essential amino acids. But because of its hard cell wall, it cannot be digested easily. So, it is available in the form of food supplements as tablets, capsules etc.
So, option C "Chlorella" is the correct answer.
