Solution

The correct option is C Viscosity
A pseudopodium is a temporary cytoplasm-filled projection of unicellular eukaryotic cell (Amoeba). Movement of pseudopodia of amoeba are due to change in viscosity and it is explained by Sol-Gel theory. This theory is based on the reversible change of protoplasm from sol state(less viscous) to gel state(more viscous).
So, the correct answer is 'Viscosity'.
