Plant-like:

Shows an absence of cell wall,though chloroplasts may be present: As chloroplast is the structure present in plants to carry out photosynthesis hence, protists with chloroplasts would be like plants.

Animal- like :

Absence of cell wall as well as chloroplasts: The animal cells lack both cell wall and chloroplast. Hence, protists that lace these features would be animal-like.

Slime- molds: As slime-molds have the property of ingesting food hence, this makes it most similar to animals.

Fungus-like:

Feeds on decaying matter: Some fungus have the quality to feed on decaying matter, hence this quality will make a protist similar to fungi.

Enclosed by a membrane called a pellicle: As some fungi have this membrane, hence this makes a protist similar to fungi.

Presence of flagella: Flagella are present in fungus for trapping food. A protist containing flagella would be most similar to fungi.
