Solution
The correct option is C Hypnospore
Chlamydomonas is a motile unicellular alga and belongs to the genus of green algae. This is found in stagnant water, freshwater, seawater, damp soil and even in snow. Asexual reproduction in algae takes place through the production of spores. When zoospores lose their motility these are referred to as aplanospores and in certain green algae these aplanospores have thickened walls and are known as hypnospores. These are resting spores released in the dormant state. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
