Answer 1

The correct option is B Kingdom-Protista

The kingdom Protista has been broadly divided into three main groups:

1. Photosynthetic Protists (Protistan Algae)
2. Consumer-Decomposer Protists (Slime Moulds)
3. Protozoan Protists

Photosynthetic protists constitute the main portion of the green phytoplankton. Photosynthesis takes place in these protists. They are the green photosynthetic organisms which are passively drifted by the water current. They include Dinoflagellates, Chrysophytes, and Euglenoids.
