- AIn brown algae motile spores have 2-8, equal, lateral flagella
- BIn green algae motile cell, have 2 unequal, apical flagella
- CIn red algae motile cells have 2-8, equal and apical flagella, few are non-motile
- DIn brown algae motile spores are biflagellate and flagella are unequal and lateral.
Correct answer
D. In brown algae motile spores are biflagellate and flagella are unequal and lateral.
