Solution

The correct option is B Stigeoclonium
'Hetero' means different and 'trichous' denotes trichome or filament. In some algae, the plant body is very much evolved and consists of more than one type of filaments and thus, represents the heterotrichous habit. It is one of the characteristic feature of Chaetophorales of Chlorophyceae. For example- Draparnaldia, Stigeoclonium.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
