Solution
The correct option is B Euglena
Euglena is the 'connecting link' between plant and animal because it has characteristics of both plant and animals. Like plants, they have chloroplasts with the help of which they perform photosynthesis. Like animals, they lack cell walls and in absence of sunlight, they possess a structure called a flagellum, which is used to obtain food, therefore performing heterotrophic nutrition. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
