$\begin{array}{cc}ColumnA& ColumnB\\ A.Amoeba& i.Flagella\\ B.Euglena& ii.Cilia\\ C.Paramecium& iii.Pseudopodia\end{array}$

• A. A-i; B-iii; C-ii
• B. A-ii; B-iii; C-i
• C. A-iii; B-i; C-ii
• D. A-i; B-ii; C-iii

Answer 1

The correct option is C A-iii; B-i; C-ii

Kingdom Protista includes various unicellular eukaryotic organisms.
On the basis of their locomotion, these organisms can be classified into ciliary, flagellar and amoeboid.

• Paramecium uses cilia present on the cell membrane.
• Euglena uses a whip like flagella to move around.
• Few organisms like amoeba use pseudopodia for locomotion.
