• C. b, c
• D. a, b

Answer 1

The correct option is D a, b

In brown algae, the reserved food material is stored in the form of mannitol, and not as Floridean starch as observed in red algae.

Alginic acid is obtained from some brown algae and not from red algae.

So, the correct answer is 'a, b'.
