The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Type of Algae**: Red algae belong to the class Rhodophyceae. This classification is crucial for understanding their reproductive methods. 2. **Understand the Color of Red Algae**: The red color of red algae is primarily due to the pigment R-phycoerythrin. This pigment is significant in distinguishing red algae from other types of algae. 3. **Reproductive Methods in Red Algae**: - **Vegetative Reproduction**: This usually occurs through fragmentation. - **Asexual Reproduction**: Red algae reproduce asexually through non-motile spores. - **Sexual Reproduction**: This occurs through non-motile gametes. 4. **Analyze the Options Given**: - **Zoospore**: Typically found in green and brown algae, where asexual reproduction occurs through motile zoospores. Red algae do not form zoospores. - **Non-motile Spore**: This is a method of asexual reproduction in red algae, so they do form non-motile spores. - **Non-motile Gamete**: This is a method of sexual reproduction in red algae, so they do form non-motile gametes. - **None of These**: This option implies that all previous statements are incorrect, which is not the case. 5. **Conclusion**: The only option that red algae do not form is **zoospore**. Therefore, the correct answer is option one: zoospore. ---
