The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Organism**: The question asks about Ectocarpus, which is a type of algae. 2. **Determine the Characteristics**: Ectocarpus is found in coastal areas, particularly on rocky shores. It is brown in color and has a filamentous structure. 3. **Analyze the Options**: - **Unicellular Green Algae**: These are single-celled organisms, such as Chlorella, which do not form filaments. - **Filamentous Brown Algae**: This option fits Ectocarpus, as it is brown and filamentous. - **Branched Red Algae**: These are typically red in color and include organisms like Porphyra, which do not match Ectocarpus. - **Colonial Green Algae**: These live in groups, such as Walrugs, which is not applicable to Ectocarpus. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the characteristics and the analysis of the options, Ectocarpus is classified as a filamentous brown algae. **Final Answer**: Ectocarpus is a filamentous brown algae. ---
