Solution

The correct option is D Spirogyra
In spirogyra, all the cells of the filament can form the gametes, which are morphologically similar and are referred to as isogametes. This phenomena of sexual reproduction is known as isogamous type of sexual reproduction. But at the time of conjugation one of the two isogametes shows motility and is considered as the male gamete. This phenomenon is referred to as physiological anisogamy, as they show dissimilar physiological function.
