- DAsexual reproduction by uniflagellate zoospores.
Correct answer
D. Asexual reproduction by uniflagellate zoospores.
Step-by-step solution
Members of class phaeophyceae are commonly called Brown algae.

In these algae vegetative reproduction takes place gfragmentation while sexual reproduction takes place by isogamy or anisogamy or oogamy.
