When a protist possesses two flagella, both are generally used for propulsion. Assuming that a flagellum containing a crystalline rod cannot undulate back and forth, and assuming that two undulatory flagella can produce more effective locomotion than can a single flagellum, which of these organisms should have the least effective locomotion?

a. golden algae
b. dinoflagellates
c. Euglenids
d. Chlamydomonas
e. oomycetes
