The correct option is A Photosynthesizers and symbionts
Nutrition can vary according to the type of protist. Most eukaryotic algae are autotrophic, but the pigments were lost in some groups. Other protists are heterotrophic and may show phagotrophy, osmotrophy, saprotrophy or parasitism. Some are mixotrophic. Protists may also be symbiotic.
