Best answer

Answer: 4. A, C, D and E only

Key idea: check each statement about brown algae.

A true: asexual reproduction by biflagellate zoospores.
B false: sexual reproduction may be isogamous, anisogamous or oogamous, not oogamous only.
C true: food is stored as mannitol or laminarin.
D true: pigments are chlorophyll a, c, carotenoids and xanthophyll (fucoxanthin).
E true: cellulosic wall with a gelatinous algin coating.

So A, C, D and E are correct.
