D) Mastigophora

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Rhizopoda are group of protozoan amoeboid organisms and possess locomotory organs in the form of cilia.

Suctoria are ciliates, which become sessile in their developed stage.

Mastigophora is a phylum of unicellular heterotrophic protozoans of the kingdom Protista.

Sporozoa is a large group of parasitic non-photosynthetic protists, that wholly lack flagellated stages and hence do not possess any locomotory organs.
