Solution

The correct option is C Fucus
Fucus (rockweed) is a type of brown alga and it displays the diploid life history.

The receptacles are reproductive branches and so contain many cavities with external pores. These pores contain antheridia (male) and oogonia (female)
The correct option is C.
