For the question (1) i am little bit confused. Because algae is not a Protists. But it can be the answer as it is photosynthetic organisms.

- cynobacteria is a bacteria not a Protists. It can not be the answer.

- kinetoplastids are protozoans so they can not photosynthesize. It also is not the answer.

Hopefully it helps.thanks.
