Solution

The correct option is D Noctiluca
Noctiluca was the first dinoflagellate to be recorded for bioluminescence. It is also called as sea sparkle.
It lacks a protective armour plating around it and emits light upon getting disturbed.
Gonyaulax (red tides), Peridinium (green, yellow or brown colour) and Pyrodinium shows bioluminescence) were not first recorded for bioluminescence.
The correct answer is C.
