Iodine is obtained from the members of Brown algae.

Option: B

Explanation:

  • Iodine is extracted from the brown algae Laminaria digitata. They are the largest and most efficient accumulators of iodine among the living organisms.  
  • Brown algae are also known as ribbon seaweeds. They accumulate iodine by obtaining iodide ions from the sea water.  
  • Seaweed is heated into an ash, mixed in boiling water, filtered, and hydrogen peroxide is added to the solution to oxidize iodide to iodine.  
  • The iodine is then extracted by solvent ‘extraction and evaporation’.
