Options
- AA - 2, B - 2, C - 3, D - 1
- BA - 3, B - 1, C - 2, D - 4
- CA - 1, B - 4, C - 3, D - 2
- DA - 4, B - 3, C - 1, D - 2
Correct answer
A. A - 2, B - 2, C - 3, D - 1
Step-by-step solution
A - 2: Chrysophytes are photosynthetic autotrophs. They mainly include diatoms and golden algae. B - 2: Dinoflagellates are primarily photosynthetic autotrophs, though some can be heterotrophic. C - 3: Euglenoids can switch between being photosynthetic in the presence of light and heterotrophic in its absence, demonstrating dual nutrition modes. D - 1: Slime Moulds are saprophytic, meaning they feed on decaying organic matter.
