Solution

The correct option is D Protozoa
After the spill, all the bacteria along with the protozoan work together to efficiently degrade the oil. That continuous mixing of the water allowed a bacterial bloom to turn millions of the barrel of oil into microbial cells of oil-consuming species.
So, the correct option is 'Protozoan'.
