The correct answer is: Brown algae
The large (giant) parenchymatous forms of brown algae are called kelps or seaweed or trees of seas or forest of the sea. (e.g., Macrocystis 30–60m; Nereocystis 20–30m, Laminaria 2–12m). Both contain fucoxanthin, which is brown in colour. Due to which both are grouped under brown algae.
