Solution

The correct option is A Pinocytosis
Ingestion of liquid particles that can not pass through the cell membrane owing to their comparatively larger size is carried out by cell by budding of small vesicles around the material to be ingested. This is followed by pinch off of the filled vesicles in the cytoplasm. This is called as pinocytosis.
Hydrolysis is the process of breakdown of any chemical substance driven by its reaction with wat.
Cyclosis refers to rotational movement or streaming of liquid portion of cytoplasm (the cytosol) as mediated by actin filaments of the cytoskeleton.
Synthesis refers to a type of reactions wherein two or more substances combine together to form a new substance.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
