It is multicellular and can move itself from place to place.

Reason: Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic, and (at least in some life stage) capable of locomotion and are heterotrophic. The other choices describe unicellular heterotrophs (protists), photosynthetic eukaryotes (plants/algae), or prokaryotes (bacteria/archaea), which are not animals.
