Solution

The correct option is C Dinoflagellate
Protozoa and diatoms are eukaryotic protists.
Acetabularia is a green alga.
Dinoflagellates are flagellated mesokaryotic protists as it contains a well-organised nucleus like that of eukaryotic cells, but its nucleus divides through amitosis like that of prokaryotes.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
