A
Solution:
Ectocarpus, Dictyota, and Laminaria are the members of Phaeophyceae or brown algae, which are found primarily in marine habitats.
Polysiphonia, Porphyra, and Gracilaria are the members of Rhodophyceae or red algae, while most of them are marine with higher concentrations in the warmer areas.
Funaria, Polytrichum, and sphagnum are mosses that are found commonly growing in moist, shaded areas in the hills.
Equisetum, Psilotum, and Pteris are pteridophytes, the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues – xylem and phloem.
