Solution

The correct option is B Dinoflagellates
Dinoflagellates are organisms that are mostly marine and photosynthetic. Very often red dinoflagellate undergoes search rapid multiplication that they make the sea appear red and causes red tides.
Toxin release for such large number may even kill other marine animals such as fishes.
