Solution

The correct option is B
Paramecium

Paramoecium is a unicellular organism, i.e., it is made up of a single cell. The single cell performs all the essential life processes by itself. Therefore, any injury to this cell can be fatal and even lead to death. Horse, mushroom and snail are multicellular organisms. Any injury to one cell of these organisms would not lead to any significant disruption in essential life processes.
