Answer: "a protist that is a heterotroph and has chlorophyll."

Explanation: That describes a mixotrophic protist (e.g., Euglena) that can photosynthesize (plant-like) because it has chlorophyll, yet can also ingest or absorb food (animal-like). The other choices describe mainly animal-like (1), mainly plant-like (2), or are too vague (4).
