Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Diplobiontic is the most advanced and complex life cycle in red algae. It is found in all red algae except Nemalionales. Life cycle includes one haploid phase and two diploid phases. There are three phases of the life cycle:

2. Gametophyte (Haploid)
3. Tetrasporophyte (Diploid)
The two diploid phases alternate with haploid gametophytic phase.
