Explanation:

Red algae are able to grow in depth of seas as compared to green algae because of the presence of more quantity of pigment phycoerythrin in red algae growing at depth. Phycoerythrin can absorb blue- green wavelength of visible spectrum of light that can reach the maximum depth of water and help in photosynthesizing those red algae. Hence option 1st is correct.
