Correct answer: A. Eubacteria are also called false bacteria.
- A. Eubacteria are also called false bacteria.
- B. Phycomycetes are also called algal fungi.
- C. Cyanobacteria are also called bluegreen algae.
- D. Golden algae are also called desmids.
Explanation
The statement "Eubacteria are also called false bacteria" is incorrect. Eubacteria are commonly referred to as "true bacteria" or "common bacteria," not "false bacteria."Here are explanations for each option:1. Eubacteria are indeed called "true bacteria" or "common bacteria" because they represent the vast majority of known bacteria and are not "false bacteria."2. Phycomycetes are also called "algal fungi" because they share characteristics with both algae and fungi, so this statement is correct.3. Cyanobacteria are indeed called "blue-green algae" because they resemble algae, even though they are actually a type of bacteria, so this statement is accurate.4. Golden algae are also known as "desmids." Desmids are a specific type of unicellular green algae, so this statement is correct.Therefore, the incorrect statement is the first one about Eubacteria.

About Biodiversity and Variety of Life
Biological classification uses taxonomic ranks, binomial nomenclature and shared characteristics to organize life into kingdoms. The major groups include prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants and animals, with comparisons based on cell type, cell wall, nutrition, body organization, reproduction and evolutionary relationships; prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus.
