Identify the incorrect statement:
| 1. | Chrysophytes include diatoms, which are chief producers in the ocean. |
| 2. | Dinoflagellates have stiff cellulose plates on the outer surface of their cell wall. |
| 3. | Euglenoids are heterotrophic organisms, which have a single flagellum. |
| 4. | Slime molds are saprophytic protists. |
| Assertion (A): | Diatoms have left behind a large amount of cell wall deposits in their habitats. |
| Reason (R): | Diatoms are the chief producers in the ocean. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
