The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Moss protonema resembles in structure", we will analyze the options provided and determine which one is correct based on the characteristics of moss protonema. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand what Moss Protonema is**: - Moss protonema is a thread-like structure that forms the early stage in the life cycle of mosses (which are bryophytes). It is composed of a filamentous arrangement of cells. 2. **Evaluate Option (a): Multicellular green alga**: - Multicellular green algae often have a filamentous structure, which is similar to the thread-like structure of moss protonema. This resemblance makes this option a strong candidate. 3. **Evaluate Option (b): Hypha of Rhizopus**: - Hyphae are the filamentous structures of fungi, such as Rhizopus. While they are also thread-like, they are fundamentally different in composition and function from moss protonema. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 4. **Evaluate Option (c): Unicellular structure of Acetabularia**: - Acetabularia is a type of green algae that is unicellular and has a different structure compared to moss protonema. Since protonema is multicellular and filamentous, this option is also incorrect. 5. **Evaluate Option (d): None of the above**: - Since we have identified that option (a) is correct, option (d) is not applicable. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **(a) Multicellular green alga**. ### Final Answer: (a) Multicellular green alga
