Which of the following is NOT part of the Chromalveolates group of eukaryotes?
A) Dinoflagellates
B) Euglenoids
C) Apicomplexans
D) Ciliates
E) Diatoms
Chromalveolates
A supergroup composed of diverse protists with few shared characters; most are photosynthetic, and heterotrophic chromalveolates, such as the water molds and ciliates, probably descended from autotrophic ancestors. Divided into two main groups; see alveolates and stramenopiles.
Euglenoids
A group of mostly freshwater unicellular excavates that move by means of an anterior flagellum and are usually photosynthetic.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Euglenoids are not part of the Chromalveolates group; they belong to a different group called Excavata. Chromalveolates include organisms like dinoflagellates, apicomplexans, ciliates, and diatoms, but not euglenoids.
