The correct option is D Proterospongia
Proterospongia is a single celled aquatic organism that belongs to class of choanoflagellates as it has specialised flagellated cells called choanocytes or collar cells. It is considered as a connecting link between protozoan and porifera because it forms colonies like protozoans and has choanocytes like porifera.
