Answer 1

Answer:

option A is correct answer of this question

Answer 2

c. Rhodophyta contains chlorophyll a, b, phycoerythrin, and phycocyanin.

• Algae are classified into Chlorophyta (green algae), Phaeophyta (brown algae), and Rhodophyta (red algae).
• The characteristic colors of these algae are due to the photosynthetic pigments present inside them.
• Chlorophyll a is found in all these algae as it is the major photosynthetic pigment.
• Phycocyanin and phycoerythrin are photosynthetic pigments that give a blue and red color to the algae respectively.
• That is why members of Rhodophyta appear purplish-red.
