Solution
The correct option is B pinocytosis
Pinocytosis
Molecules that are too large to be ingested by cells enter into the cells through the process of pinocytosis. In this process a pinocytosis vesicle is formed around the extracellular material to be ingested.
The vesicle thus formed is then endocytosed into the cell in an energy-dependent process. This process is also known as 'cell drinking' as it mostly deals with liquid molecules.
