Solution
The correct option is C Zygote
The simplest form of sexual reproduction in algae is conjugation, in which two similar organisms fuse, exchange genetic material, and then break apart. For example, in Spirogyra, which produces both asexually and sexually, two long, unbranched filaments join via conjugation tubes, through which genetic material is exchanged between cells. Most multicellular algae undergo a more complex form of sexual reproduction involving the union of special reproductive cells, called gametes, to form a single cell, known as a zygote.
