Solution

The correct option is B Phagocytosis
Amoeba obtains the food through phagocytosis process. Since, Amoeba has no mouth, it takes the food into it's body by means of pseudopodia, which completely enclose the particle of food, that is enveloped in vacuoles. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organism's activities. In physiology, respiration is defined as the transport of oxygen from the outside air to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction. Meiosis is a process of cell division in eukaryotes characterized by: two consecutive divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
