Solution
The correct option is B Foraminiferasflagellated heterotrophs, free- living or symbiotic Foraminifera is single-celled organisms protozoans with shells or tests, it lives on or in the sand, mud, rocks, and plants at the bottom of the ocean. Foraminifera is found in all marine environments, from the intertidal to the deepest ocean trenches, and from the tropics to the poles, but species of foraminifera can be very particular about the environment in which they live.
So, the correct option is 'Foraminiferasflagellated heterotrophs, free-living or symbiotic'.
