Correct answer
C. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
Step-by-step solution
Chrysophytes (like diatoms) have cell walls that form two thin overlapping shells which fit together, and the walls are embedded with silica. Dinoflagellates mostly have stiff cellulose plates on their outer surface. Euglenoids lack a cell wall; instead, they have a protein-rich layer called a pellicle which makes their body flexible. Slime moulds form fruiting bodies during unfavourable conditions, bearing spores at their tips. These spores possess true walls. Thus, the correct matching is A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV.
