None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Neither amoeba nor paramecium contain chlorophyll and are exclusively heterotrophs, meaning that they take their food from the surrounding environment rather than producing their own. Volvox, as a type of algae, contains chlorophyll and produces its own food through photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plant-like protists are mainly autotrophs which are capable of making their own food through photosynthesis, but some are both autotrophic and heterotrophic like the Euglena. Their cells contain chloroplasts that contain a green pigment, chlorophyll, to absorb sunlight.
Detailed explanation-3: -protozoans-group of tiny animals (as amoebas and paramecia) that are single-celled protists and have varied structure and physiology and often complicated life cycles.
Detailed explanation-4: -Amoeba are not able to undergo photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants and algae harness the sun’s energy to make their own food. Amoeba are consumers, which means they must eat or ingest other plants or animals in order to receive energy-rich nutrients.
