• A. Chlamydomonas
• B. Spirogyra
• C. Ulothrix
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Chlamydomonas

Chlamydomonas is a unicellular, eukaryotic green algae, therefore would be included in Kingdom Protista of the Five Kingdom classification. The life cycle is haplontic, wherein two haploid cells undergo fusion to form the diploid zygote. The zygote undergoes meiosis to produce the vegetative cells.

So, the correct answer is 'Chlamydomonas'
