Solution

The correct option is C Phagocytosis
Amoebae typically ingest their food by phagocytosis, extending pseudopods to encircle and engulf live prey or particles of scavenged material. Pinocytosis the ingestion of liquid into a cell by the budding of small vesicles from the cell membrane. Exocytosis is a process by which a cell transports secretory products through the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. Osmosis a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.
