This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2021 Question Paper (09-Feb-2022) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

Dry stone

The correct answer is Dry stone.

However, even these terrestrial forms require some level of moisture to survive and reproduce. Extremely dry conditions are generally lethal to most algal species in their active state. Some algae can form resistant spores or cysts that allow them to survive periods of dryness, but they would not be actively "residing" and growing in a dry environment. The question asks where they would generally be found *residing*, implying active presence and growth, which requires moisture.
