Solution
The correct option is D Paramecium
Ciliated protozoans have a large number of hair-like organelles called cilia present all over the body surface that helps them in movement, feeding etc. They also have a mouth pore that opens to the outside, called the gullet into which they move their food by means of cilia. Paramecium belongs to this group of protozoans.
