Answer:

The correct answer will be option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protista is a group of Eukaryotic organisms which consists of unicellular organisms.

These protists remain unicellular which live in colonies as well as some group live as a simple multicellular organism. these multicellular organisms lack complexity, unlike true multicellular organisms. Protists exhibit the characters of plants, animals and fungi but lack true tissues like seaweed kelp.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
