Solution

The correct option is B
Food vacuole

A food vacuole is basically a storage unit of food in amoeba. It is formed only when amoeba has engulfed its prey completely following which digestive enzymes are released into the vacuole. The food vacuole digests the food. Wastes and excess water are transported outside the cell by contractile vacuoles.
