Solution
The correct option is D Dinoflagellates
Dinoflagellates
Red dinoflagellates like Gonyaulax multiply rapidly and accumulate in large numbers in some parts of the sea. This turns the sea red in colour and the phenomenon is known as red tide. Gonyaulax also releases toxins into the water bodies which kill marine organisms.
