Solution

The correct option is B Pseudopodia
Pseudopods which translates to "false feet" are temporary cytoplasm-filled parts of the cell wall that are able to change their form in order to move. They are used in some eukaryotic cells to move around or to eat. Most cells that do this are called as amoeboids. The amoeba is a common example. Proboscis, cilia and tongue are absent in amoeba.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
