AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Choose the INCORRECT statement," we will analyze each of the provided statements one by one. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Statement: "All protozoans are heterotrophs."** - This statement is **correct**. Protozoans are indeed heterotrophs, meaning they obtain their food by consuming other organisms or organic matter. 2. **Analyze the Second Statement: "All protists are autotrophs."** - This statement is **incorrect**. While some protists are autotrophs (like algae), many protists are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain energy from consuming other organisms. Therefore, this statement is the one we are looking for. 3. **Analyze the Third Statement: "Pellicle is present in euglenoids."** - This statement is **correct**. Euglenoids, a group of protists, possess a pellicle, which is a flexible outer covering. 4. **Analyze the Fourth Statement: "Both b and c."** - Since statement b is incorrect and statement c is correct, this option is also **incorrect** as it suggests that both statements are wrong. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement is **option 2: "All protists are autotrophs."**
