Solution
The correct option is
C
Floridean starch
Floridian starch is the characteristic photosynthetic reserve substance of red algae, occurring abundantly in certain basin-shaped grain cells.
Most Rhodophyceae store starch outside the chloroplast, often as a cap over a bulging pyrenoid.
The major carbohydrate storage product of red algae is a type of starch molecule (Floridean starch), that is more highly branched than amylopectin.
Floridian starch is stored as grains outside the chloroplast. so option D is correct
