Solution
The correct option is A Photoheterotrophic
Amoeba is an aquatic protozoan protist which lives at the bottom of freshwater pools and streams. It normally occurs in water which has a lot of vegetation, decaying organic matter and bacteria. The mode of its nutrition is holozoic as it ingests its food by phagocytosis. It is a unicellular organism which is heterotrophic and cannot synthesize its own food. The food ingested remains inside the food vacuoles where digestion takes place. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
