Vedclass · Answer

(A) Red algae (Rhodophyceae) are found at the greatest depths in the ocean. This is because they contain the pigment phycoerythrin,which is capable of absorbing blue and green light wavelengths that can penetrate deeper into the water column compared to other light wavelengths. Therefore,red algae can perform photosynthesis even in low-light conditions found at greater depths.
