Correct answer: C. Both of these
- A. Chondrus
- B. Polysiphonia
- C. Both of these
- D. Pinnularia

Chondrus and Polysiphonia are both red algae, or rhodophytes, containing red pigments such as phycoerythrin. Pinnularia is a diatom, so a student who selects d is confusing a brownish photosynthetic protist with a red alga.
