Solution
The correct option is A Algae Syngamy is sexual reproduction by fusion of male gamete( sperm) with female gamete ( egg ) to form a zygote which eventually develops in the new organism.
In algae, the fusion of gametes happens outside the body of a plant, in water. The gametes are single cells without any protection. In all other plants, the fusion of gametes occurs inside the parent body and zygote is protected by the embryo.
