Correct answer: D. Both A. and B.
- A. Chrysophyta
- B. Bacillariophyceae
- C. Xanthophyceae
- D. Both A. and B.
Explanation
Diatoms have traditionally been placed within Chrysophyta and are more specifically classified in Bacillariophyceae, so both descriptions can apply under common textbook classifications. Choosing only one ignores the difference between a broader group and the more specific diatom class.
