The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Golden algae belong to Chrysophytes, not diatoms. Trichodesmium erythrium is a marine cyanobacterium associated with blooms in the Red Sea. Kieselguhr is a deposit formed by diatom cell walls, which are a subgroup of Chrysophytes. Red tides in the Mediterranean Sea are caused by Dinoflagellates.
Hence, B, C, and D are correct pairs.
