E) option is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Green algae- prokaryotic is mismatched because green algae are eukaryotic

  • Green algae (Chlorophyta) are diverse photosynthetic eukaryotic algae and has specialized regions called pyrenoids present within the plastids
  • In the green algae, the pyrenoids are usually surrounded by starch grains
  • It is known that pyrenoids are centers for enzymatic condensation of glucose into starch
  • Endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and Golgi bodies are present in the cells
  • The habitat of green algae is diverse, ranging from the ocean to freshwater
  • Rarely, green algae can also be found on land, largely on rocks and trees, with some appearing on the surface of snow
