The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

I. only

I. and II. only

II. and III. only

I, II, and III.

Answer:

I, II, and III.

Explanation:

The mechanism of natural selection can be explained for the trait which is determined by one gene but the traits which can be determined by more than one gene like height (polygenic trait), the selection becomes very complex.

The natural selection can be explained by the phenotype produced in a population and that depends on the genes.  The polygenic trait shows the variation in the population, therefore, it is impossible to predict only one mechanism and therefore all types of natural selection occurs on a population.

Thus,  I, II, and III are correct.

Protozoa have an important role in the food chain: The protozoa species plays many roles in the food chain, they act as consumers, predators or prey, herbivores and decomposers. Their main function is to control the population of other species in the same habitat. They engulf small single celled bacteria, hence prevents excessive bacterial colonization act as predator. They also feed upon the algal species therefore, act as herbivores. They act as decomposers, as they feed upon the organic matter present in the bottom of the aquatic water body. They are the source of food for large worm and insect species.
