Solution

The correct option is A Spirogyra
Spirogyra is an aquatic plant with filamentous and unbranched body structure. There are multiple cells which are arranged linearly in the filament. There is mucilage which is present surrounding the cell wall. Due to the presence of the mucilage, they are slimy structures which grow in the ponds and lakes. So, they are commonly called as the pond silk.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
