Answer: The correct answer is-
An alga that reproduce asexually through zoospores is Ulothrix.
Ulothrix is a genus that includes filamentous green algae, which is usually present in fresh and marine water. It reproduce asexually through zoospores.
Zoospores are the specialized reproductive structures ( which are asexual) in algae and produced by asexual part, which is called zoosporangium. They are also produced by bacteria, and fungi.
They are motile in nature as they have flagella that assist in their mobility and take them to favorable environment via swimming.
They help in the multiplication of algae through asexual reproduction.
