Plant body of Ulothrix and Spirogyra is gametophyte (haploid), they produce zoogametes(n) which fuse to form zygospore (2n) diploid, which is a resting spore. Under favourable condition zygospore undergoes reductional division or meiosis to produce zoospores which give rise to new plant.

In chlorophyceae, sexual reproduction takes place by all the three processes
1. Isogamy – Fusion of morphologically and physiologically similar gametes.
2. Anisogamy – Morphologically similar but physiologically dissimilar gametes.
3. Oogamy – Fusing gametes are dissimilar in all respect.Correct Option: B
