A. A – Euglena, B – Paramecium, C – Agaricus

B. A – Euglena, B – Planaria, C – Agaricus

C. A – Planaria, B – Paramecium, C – Agaricus

D. A – Euglena, B – Paramecium, C – Aspergillus

Correct Answer :

A. A – Euglena, B – Paramecium, C – Agaricus


Euglenoids includes Euglena like flagellates which have plant like characteristics (chlorophyll) in addition to some animal characteristics. Paramoecium is a ciliated protozoan, aquatic and actively moving organisms because of the presence of thousands of cilia. Agaricus (mushroom) belongs to class basidiomycetes of kingdom Fungi.
