Solution

The correct option is C Encysts
During adverse environmental periods, many Amoeba survives by encystment: the Amoeba becomes circular, loses most of its water, and secretes a cyst membrane that serves as a protective covering. When the environment is again suitable, the envelope ruptures, and the Amoeba emerges.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
