Solution

The correct option is C Euglena
Euglena is the organism which possesses the characters of the plant as well as the animals. They have the chlorophyll molecules which helps in synthesizing food by capturing the light energy. They are autotrophic organisms and can synthesize their own food. The cells of Euglena lack the cell wall. When there is no light, they act as heterotrophs. Heterotrophic mode of nutrition is the character of the animals. They are called as the connecting link between plant and animal kingdom.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
