Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
In Chlamydomonas, zoospores are formed in the night and are released by rupturing the cell wall.
Zoospores formation is the most effective and rapid way of reproduction under favorable environmental conditions.
They develop either in zoosporangia or vegetative cells. They settle on a substratum and form thallus.
These are flagellated asexual spores. Due to the presence of flagella they can swim for many hours using endogenous food reserve to reproduce into a new plant. So, the correct option is B.
