Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
The zygospore of Ulothrix, on germination, does not directly develop into a new filament.
Instead its nucleus undergoes zygotic meiosis.
The resultant four haploid daughter nuclei are organised into meiospores which may be motile (meiozoospores) or non-motile (meioaplanospres).
