The correct option is paramecium.

Paramecium belongs to the phylum Protista. These are unicellular ciliates. They are also called as ciliates because they have cilia all over there body surface. Cilia help in movement as well as in capturing food. Rest others i.e. plasmodium, euglena and foraminiferans are devoid of cilia. Cilia are shorter in size than flagella and are more numerous. Cilia are hair-like projections.
