• A. (i) and (v)
• B. (iv) and (v)
• C. (iii) only
• D. (v) only

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

(v) only

Protozoan, life form, generally single-celled and heterotrophic (utilizing natural carbon as a wellspring of vitality), having a place with any of the real ancestries of protists and, as most protists, ordinarily minuscule. All protozoans are eukaryotes and in this manner have a "genuine," or layer bound, core.

So, the correct option is '(v) only'.
