• B. Crysophytes, Dinoflagellates and Euglenoids only
• C. Slime moulds and fungi only
• D. Fiagellated protozoans and sporozoans

Answer 1

The correct option is A Plant-like protists and ingestive, animal like protists ; and absorptive, fungus like protists

• Protists are a very diverse group of organisms. They are basically all the organisms that don't fit into the other groups.
• A protist is any eukaryotic organism (one with cells containing a nucleus) that is not an animal, plant or fungus.
• Hence, Based upon modes of nutrition, Protists are grouped into Plant-like protists and ingestive, animal-like protists; and absorptive, fungus-like protists.
• So, the correct answer is 'Plant-like protists and ingestive, animal-like protists; and absorptive, fungus-like protists'.
