Solution

The correct option is C amoeba
In amoeba contractile vacuoles collect excretory waste, such as ammonia, from the intracellular fluid by both diffusion and active transport and amoeba has no definite shape. It keeps on changing its shape varying protruding out of its body. These are called pseudopodia. The projections appear and disappear as amoeba moves or feeds.
