Solution

The correct option is C Zygospore germination
At the time of zygospore, germination meiosis takes place in Ulothrix/Spirogyra. Under favourable conditions, zygospore undergoes zygotic meiosis to form motile tetra-flagellated comeiospoles or non-motile aplanomeiospores Each meiospore (haploid) germinates to the new filament of (+) (-) strain.
So, the correct option is 'Zygospore germination.'
