  3. E.coli
    D. Smallest flowering plant
  4. Selaginella
    E. Largest perennial alga
  5. Wolffia

A - 2, B - 3, C - 4, D - 1, E - 5

A - 2, B - 4, C - 3, D - 5, E - 1

A - 4, B - 2, C - 1, D - 5, E - 3

A - 3, B - 1, C - 4, D - 5, E - 2

Solution:

E.coli express peritrichous flagella. These are the flagella projecting in all directions. Ginkgo is a gymnosperm which is reported as the living fossil. The distinctive feature of the Selaginella is rhizophore, a proplike structure that originates at a point of branching and that forks dichotomously after making contact with the soil or a hard surface. Wolffia is the smallest flowering plant known on Earth. It is a aquatic plant. Macrocystis is the three to four species of brown alga which is considered as the largest alga in the world. So, the correct answer is option A.
