Question

Use the table to answer the following question.

Organism	Appearance	Habitat/Activity	Nutrient Acquisition	Reproduction
A	Microscopic, unicellular, with a flagellum	Swims around in freshwater pools	Envelops and consumes other microscopic organisms	Mates with others; young bud off
B	Shaped like a basketball, covered with purple filaments, multicellular	Rolls slowly across grassy fields	Thrives with access to only freshwater and sunlight	Mates with others; young emerge from hardened spherical structures
C	Hard and branched, multicellular, covered in a sticky coating	Attached to rocky surfaces	Traps insects in sticky coating and ingests them	No mating; releases winged young that fly off and affix to bare rocks
D	Multicellular with cell walls	Mostly sessile	Absorption from the environment	Disperses spores ballistically
