Q. Consider the following statements I. In red algae vegetative reproduction takes place by fragmentation II. In red algae the food is stored as floridean starch, which is very similar to amylopectin and glycogen is structure III. Cell wall of red algae consists of chitin Which of the statements given above are correct?
A) I and II
B) I and III
C) II and III
D) All of these
