Verified by ExpertsC
Statement (iv) is incorrect because it claims all protists are achlorophyllous (lacking chlorophyll) and heterotrophic. In reality, Kingdom Protista includes many photosynthetic members (autotrophs) such as diatoms and dinoflagellates, as well as mixotrophs like Euglenoids that can be both autotrophic and heterotrophic.
