The correct option is C Apical
Brown algae are members of the Stramenopiles. Its gametes generally have two heterogeneous flagella. Brown algae multiply by asexual and sexual reproduction; both the motile zoospores and gametes have two unequal flagella. Some seaweed species have gas-filled bladders which keep photosynthetic parts of the algal thallus floating on or near the surface of the water.
