Solution

The correct option is D Dinoflagellate
These features are matching to the Kingdom Protista. Protista are single-celled eukaryotes. Members of Protista are primarily aquatic. Being eukaryotes, the protistian cell body contains a well-defined nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Protista includes Chrysophytes, Dinoflagellates, Euglenoids, Slime molds, and Protozoans. Most of the Dinoflagellates have two flagella, one lies longitudinally and the other transversely in a furrow between the wall plates.
So the correct option is "Dinoflagellate".
