Solution

The correct option is D Paramoecium caudatum
Paramecium caudatum is a species of unicellular organisms belonging to the phylum Ciliophora. They have two nuclei (a large macronucleus and a single compact micronucleus). They cannot survive without the macronucleus and cannot reproduce without the micronucleus. Hence, option D is correct.
