The correct option is C
ii and iii

Amoeba is a eukaryote; that means it has a nucleus and cell organelles. It has no proper shape as it keeps changing its shape during its movements. Amoeba moves around by forming pseudopodia or false legs. It feeds by engulfing food with the help of pseudopodia. This process is called phagocytosis.
