Solution

The correct option is B Chrysophytes
The groups of organisms,where the cell walls for two thin overlapping shells fit together are known as Dinoflagellates. They have a soapy box-like cell wall that is siliceous. Diatoms fall under Chrysophytes

Chrysophytes are a group of algae commonly found in lakes. They are sometimes referred to as golden-brown algae.

Slime molds have cellulose in the cell walls of their spores and are heterotrophs. Euglenoids are unicellular protists commonly found in fresh water. Instead of cell wall, a protein-rich cell membrane known as pellicle is present. A small light sensitive eye spot is present.

Dinoflagellates are unicellular protists comprising two flagella.

Therefore, the correct answer is "crysophytes".
