The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a unicellular green alga. Unicellular organisms are those that consist of a single cell, and green algae belong to the group known as Chlorophyta. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - A. Eulothrix - B. Chlamydomonas - C. Spirogyra - D. All of the above 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Eulothrix**: This is a genus of green algae that is indeed unicellular and can be found in both freshwater and marine environments. - **Chlamydomonas**: This is another genus of green algae known for being unicellular. It can also be found in both freshwater and marine environments. - **Spirogyra**: This genus is primarily known for its filamentous structure, which is multicellular. Therefore, it does not fit the description of being unicellular. 4. **Conclusion**: Since both Eulothrix and Chlamydomonas are unicellular green algae, but Spirogyra is not, the correct answer cannot be "D. All of the above." The correct answer is actually a choice between A and B. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct unicellular green alga from the options given is **B. Chlamydomonas**.
