Solution

The correct option is C Holdfast
The only specialized cell is the basal cell, which is modified into a holdfast. The basal cell is responsible for adhering the Ulothrix to a rocky subtrate, but may not always be present. The basal cell is slightly elongated and hyaline or colourless (without chloroplast). It may be simple or ramified or rhizoid like.
