Protozons are not included in kingdom animalia because they are
mostly asymmetrical.
unicellular eukaryotes.
heterotrophic in nature.
multicellular prokaryotes.
Correct Answer :
B. unicellular eukaryotes.
Protozoans comes under the kingdom of protista (singlecelled eukaryotes). They are heterotrophs and live as predators or parasites. They are divisible into four major groups zooflagellata, sarcodina, sporozoa and ciliata.
