Solution

The correct option is A Brown and Red Algae
Biofertilisers are microorganisms which can fix nitrogen and hence enrich the soil with utilizable nitrogen-containing compounds. Blue-green algae or Cyanobacteria, Glomus (a genus of fungi) and Rhizobium can fix nitrogen, but brown and red algae cannot.
