Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

Mixotrophic Nutrition: Euglenoids are photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight. However, when deprived of sunlight, they do not die; instead, they behave as heterotrophs by predating on smaller organisms or feeding on organic remains.

Flagella: They typically possess two unequal flagella, usually one long and one short, located at the anterior end.

Classification: They are members of the Kingdom Protista, which consists of unicellular eukaryotic organisms.

Pigments: Their photosynthetic pigments (specifically chlorophyll a and b) are identical to those found in higher plants.
