A Correct answer
Explanation

Euglena exhibits a unique combination of plant-like and animal-like characteristics, earning it the description of a 'connecting link' between the two kingdoms. Like plants, Euglena contains chloroplasts and can perform photosynthesis when sunlight is available. Like animals, when deprived of light, it can ingest food and move using flagella. This dual-mode nutrition and locomotion bridge the traditional plant-animal dichotomy, making it the best answer among options.
