Solution

The correct option is E Both C and D
  • Mixotroph is an organism that can use a mix of different sources of energy and carbon, instead of having a single trophic mode on the continuum from complete autotrophy at one end to heterotrophy at the other.
  • The groups with many mixotrophic or heterotrophic taxa include cryptophytes, chrysophytes, dinoflagellates, and euglenoid flagellates and protozoans.
  • Hence, Mixotrophic nutrition occurs in Giardia and Euglena.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Both C and D'.
