Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
  • Holozoic unicellular organisms are those which can engulf the whole organism.
  • Protozoans like an Amoeba, Paramecium from an invagination around the whole organism like bacteria and then form a small vesicle.
  • This vesicle is then taken inside the cell and then vesicle is broken down to release the whole organism. Such a whole organism is utilized by protozoans as their food.
  • The invaginations are formed by protozoans by forming pseudopodia (temporary projections of the cell).
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
