Red algae photosynthesize at ocean depths greater than any other group of algae and hence can be found in deepest waters because they

1. contain a higher concentration of chlorophyll
2. have an extremely large surface area to capture the little amount of light that reaches them
3. contain the pigment phycoerythrin
4. periodically float to the surface and intercept light, then move back to the ocean floor
