Which algae is described as containing large amounts of vitamin C and magnesium and minerals such as calcium, copper, iodine, iron, and magnesium?

• A. High iodine content
• B. Contains beta-carotene
• C. Large amounts of vitamin C and magnesium; minerals such as calcium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium
• D. Anti-inflammatory properties

Answer: (C)

This question is about recognizing a nutrient profile. The algae described is noted for large amounts of vitamin C and magnesium plus a range of minerals (calcium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium). That specific combination is what makes it stand out, so the option that lists this exact mix best matches the described algae. Seaweeds are known for mineral-rich content because they absorb minerals from seawater. Iodine is especially high in many brown seaweeds, magnesium is a common mineral, and vitamin C is present but varies by type and season, which fits the described profile. The other choices highlight only one characteristic or a different nutrient and don’t capture the full described composition.
