The correct answer is:

The organism in the figure is Euglena, which belongs to the group Euglenoids. Key identifying features from the figure typically include:

• Body Shape: An elongated, spindle-shaped body.

• Flagella: It possesses two flagella—one short and one long—arising from the anterior end.

• Photoreceptor: A prominent eyespot (stigma) near the flagellar base.

• Pellicle: Instead of a cell wall, they have a protein-rich layer called a pellicle, which makes their body flexible.

• Mixotrophic Nutrition: They are photosynthetic in the presence of light but behave as heterotrophs in the dark.
