Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is
B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Classification of Diatoms:
Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) are broadly classified into two orders based on symmetry:
Centrales (Centric diatoms):
These are circular, discoid, or cylindrical in shape. They exhibit
Radial symmetry
.
Pennales (Pennate diatoms):
These are elongated, boat-shaped, or needle-like (e.g., \
Pinnularia
, \
Navicula
). They exhibit
Bilateral symmetry
.
Step 2: Match Variables:
X (Centrale) = Radial.
Y (Pennales) = Bilateral.
Step 3: Final Answer:
Option (B) matches this sequence.
