Sorry to keep asking but these answers are not in what I am supposed to read! What are some similarities shared by green algae and plants?

Select one:
a. They make their own food, store energy as starch, and have a two-stage life cycle.
b.
They make their own food, are plants, and live in a dry environment.

c. They rely on insects for fertilization, store water, and make seeds.
d. They need sunlight, have flowers, and make their own food.

This does not say none of the above on that link

This site clarifies it.

To find the correct answer, let's compare the given options with the question and eliminate ones that are clearly incorrect.

Option a states that both green algae and plants make their own food, store energy as starch, and have a two-stage life cycle. This could be a possible similarity, but before confirming it, let's continue evaluating the other options.

Option b states that both green algae and plants make their own food, are plants, and live in a dry environment. This option does not state anything about storing energy as starch or having a two-stage life cycle, so it cannot be the correct answer.

Option c states that both green algae and plants rely on insects for fertilization, store water, and make seeds. This option includes some incorrect information, such as relying on insects for fertilization (which applies mainly to flowering plants) and making seeds.

Option d states that both green algae and plants need sunlight, have flowers, and make their own food. This option also includes some incorrect information, such as having flowers (which applies only to flowering plants).

Based on the evaluation of the options, it is clear that option a is the most accurate. Both green algae and plants make their own food, store energy as starch, and have a two-stage life cycle. Therefore, option a is the correct answer.
