The process of obtaining food by amoeba is known as ___.

The correct option is A. Phagocytosis.

Phagocytosis is the process in which Amoeba uses its false feet or pseudopodia to capture its food. The Amoeba moves towards its food through extensions called pseudopodia. The pseudopodia extends all around the food particles and completely engulfs the food. It gets digested inside the food vacuole as lysosomes containing the digestive enzymes fuse with it. This is the mode of nutrition in Amoeba.

Amoebiasis is the disease caused due to infection caused by Amoeba. Cytokinesis is the separation of cytoplasm in a dividing cell. Dialysis is the process of separating the toxic nitrogenous waste from blood directly using a dialysis machine.
