The correct option is B One transverse and other vertical
Dinophyceae are the unicellular algae having two unequal flagella.
These two flagella are transverse (called singulum) and another one is vertical (called a sulcus).
These flagella beat in a perpendicular direction so as to enable dinoflagellates to move.
The correct answer is B.
