Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protist is the group of the organism which is eukaryotes but nither considered true animals, fungi and plants.

Their mode of nutrition is either osmotrophic or phagotrophic. The phagotrophic feeds on the macroparticles like organic particles by surrounding the particle and swallowing it through phagocytosis. The ingested particle gets digested inside the body pf the organism. The phagotrophic organisms are like amoeba and dinoflagellates.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
