The correct option is D Euglena
- Euglena is considered as the link between plants and animals.
- Euglena has chloroplast and in the presence of sunlight, they carry out photosynthesis to produce glucose, like plants.
- In the absence of sunlight, the Euglena shows holozoic nutrition and ingests the food from the outside, like animals.
- It has a pellicle (just like a cell wall in plants) made up of a protein layer supported by a substructure of microtubules.
- Euglena is motile just like animals.
