Solution

The correct option is A Endocytosis
The process by which a cell engulfs material actively (by spending energy) to bring it into the cell is called endocytosis. Amoeba obtains its food by endocytosis in which the flexibility of the cell membrane enables the cell to engulf in food and other material from its external environment.
