Solution

The correct option is A Zoospore
Many small algae reproduce asexually by ordinary cell division or by fragmentation, whereas larger algae reproduce by spores. Some red algae produce monospores (walled, non-flagellate, spherical cells) that are carried by water currents and upon germination produce a new organism.
So, option A is the correct option.
