- Blue – green algae
- Green algae
- Brown algae
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Red algae, also known as Rhodophyta, are a group of algae that typically exhibit a red or purplish color due to the presence of pigments such as phycoerythrin. Phycoerythrin is a red pigment that helps red algae absorb light for photosynthesis.
Floridean starch is a type of storage carbohydrate found in red algae. It is a unique form of starch that differs from the starch found in other algae and plants.
Therefore, the correct answer is (A) Red algae.
