Solution

The correct option is D Cytostome
Paramecium can take in food only at the cytostome. The cilia in the oral groove create a current of water which draws the food organisms up to the cytostome where they are ingested in a food vacuole where it is digested by enzymes.
So, the correct answer is 'Cytostome'
