Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Euglena is a large genus of unicellular protists: they have both plant and animal characteristics. All live in water and move by means of a flagellum. This is an animal characteristic. Most have chloroplasts, which are characteristic of algae and plants
  
• Euglena is photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight i.e autotrophic, when deprived of sunlight they behave like heterotrophs by predating on other smaller organisms.
• Hence Euglena is autotrophic and heterotrophic both is a true statement.
• So, the correct answer is 'True'.
