Is thought to be the ancestor of land plants A. bacteria B.green algae C.ferns or D.red algae?

B. green algae is thought to be the ancestor of land plants. Molecular and fossil evidence suggests that land plants evolved from green algae approximately 500 million years ago. Both share similar traits, such as chlorophyll and cell wall composition, indicating a close evolutionary relationship.
