Solution
The correct option is B Cellular slime moulds
Cellular slime moulds behave as individual Amoeba and use pseudopods for locomotion and capturing bacteria and other smaller organisms. Unfavourable conditions, like food scarcity, induce the formation of a mass of aggregates of organisms, that stop moving and grow vertically into spore-containing mass, the sorocarp. In the sorocarp, the individual amoebas become encysted as spores, hence they are called as an aggregate of amoeboid cells.
