Solution

The correct option is A True
Amoeba reproduces by splitting in half asexually so that each daughter cell is the same as the parent. Running this process backwards from the present, each existing amoeba is the same as it is in far time. In this regard amoeba is immortal. Even all single-celled organisms are immortal as they usually undergo mitosis to reproduce, in which the organism itself gets divided into two.
So, the correct option is 'True'.
