Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

Cyanophyceae, commonly known as blue-green algae or cyanobacteria, are prokaryotic organisms that lack flagellated stages. Because zoospores are inherently motile spores that use flagella for movement, they cannot be formed by members of this class. Instead, these organisms reproduce through non-motile methods such as:

Fragmentation

Akinetes (thick-walled resting spores)

Hormogonia
