The correct answer is C. Spirogyra.

Here's a detailed explanation:

Chlamydomonas (Option A) is a unicellular green alga, not filamentous.
Volvox (Option B) is a colonial green alga, which forms spherical colonies of interconnected cells, but it is not filamentous.
Spirogyra (Option C) is a filamentous green alga. It consists of long, thread-like chains of cells, and is commonly found in freshwater environments.
Fucus (Option D) is a brown alga, not a green alga. It is also multicellular and not filamentous.
So, the correct choice for a filamentous green alga is Spirogyra.
