Answer 1

Option (D) flagellated protist is correct.

The last common ancestor of all animals was probably a flagellated protist.

What is a Protist?

• Any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, plant, or fungus is referred to as a protist.
• The absence of other eukaryotes means that protists do not constitute a natural group, or clade, even though it seems likely that they all descended from a common ancestor.

• Protozoa is another name for protists that resemble animals. Some are parasites as well.
• The four phyla that make up the Protozoa are flagellates, ciliates, spore-forming protists, and protists that resemble amoebas.

• Nuclear membranes surround the DNA of protists.
• Most protists are motile, or able to move, and many of them inhabit aquatic settings.
• Protists can reproduce sexually and/or asexually, and their life cycles are intricate.
• Protists consume, absorb, or produce food through photosynthesis.
