Euglena is a protist that can both eat food and can photosynthesize. When acting as a heterotroph, the Euglena surrounds a particle of food and consumes it by phagocytosis. When acting as an autotroph, the Euglena utilizes chloroplasts to produce sugars by photosynthesis that's why it is said to be a plant-animal.
Hence A Protistan which is commonly called plant-animal is Euglena.
So, the correct answer is 'Euglena'.
