Solution

The correct option is A Red
  • Red algae (Rhodophyceae) are characterized by the absence of any motile phase.
  • Brown algae (Pheophyceae) are characterized by the presence of motile reproductive phase with two lateral flagella.
  • Green algae are characterized by unicellular flagellated cells or microscopic colonies of flagellated or non-flagellated cells and reproduce by zoospores.
  • Thus, the correct answer is option A.
