Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
These protozoans are adapted to a parasitic mode of life. All of them are endoparasites. Locomotory organelles are absent.
Organelles connected with ingestion are absent. Nutrition is parasitic (absorptive). Sexual reproduction takes place through syngamy.
It is followed by spore formation, hence sporozoa. So, the correct answer is ‘Sporozoa’
