Solution

The correct option is D

None of the above


Both Amoeba and WBCs have cell membranes and can change their shapes. WBCs use pseudopodia to engulf the pathogen during phagocytosis as well as locomotion, while amoeba uses pseudopodia for locomotion and engulfing food. Amoeba is a unicellular organism and can exist independently. WBCs, on the other hand, are incapable of independent existence.
