    A) B and C only                

    B) B and E only

    C) C, D and E only

    D) A, B and C only

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Most of them have two flagella; one lies longitudinally and the other transversely in a furrow between the wall plates. Very often, red dianoflagellates (Example: Gonyaulax) undergo such rapid multiplication that they make the sea appear red (red tides). Toxins released by such large numbers may even kill other marine animals such as fishes.
