Solution

The correct option is B
Food vacuole

A food vacuole is basically a storage unit of food for the amoeba. It is formed only when the amoeba has engulfed its prey completely, following which digestive enzymes are released into the vacuole for digestion. Then, the food is absorbed and the waste is excreted.
