Solution

The correct option is C Blue green algae
Blue-green algae are oxygenic phototrophic bacteria with mucopeptide cell wall. Their cell wall is covered with a gelatinous sheath which makes the ground surface in rainy seasons slippery.
Fungi have a tough chitinous cell wall and bryophytes have a cellulosic cell wall, they do not have any gelatinous covering on it.
Slime moulds are amoeboid protists that lack cell wall but have slime layer. Being chemoheterotrophs, they are found among the decaying organic matter.
Bryophytes are amphibians of the plant kingdom. They can survive on land as well as water.
Thus, the correct answer is an option (B).
