Solution

The correct option is C Blue-green algae
Green, brown and red algae belong to the division Thallophyta of the plant kingdom and they are eukaryotic in nature. Blue-green algae or cyanobacteria is the first photosynthetic prokaryotic organism on Earth. Since it is prokaryotic, it lacks membrane-bound cell organelles like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.
