Solution

The correct option is B Photoheterotrophic
Nutrition in Amoeba is holozoic. It engulfs it food by phagocytosis. When Amoeba finds its food then it captures the food with the help of pseudopodia. It forms a food vacuole around food particle and the food is digested here with the help of digestive enzymes. They cannot make its food in presence of light by itself.
