Solution
The correct option is C Ciliata
When two different type of nuclei are present in the cell the phenomenon is known as nuclear dimorphism. It is a common characteristic of ciliated protists such as Paramoecium. The smaller nucleus is known as the micronucleus which is involved in the reproductive processes. The larger nucleus is known as the macronucleus involved in the regulation and control of metabolism. Thus, the correct answer is C.
