Solution

The correct option is D Holozoic
Amoeba spreads its false feet or pseudopodia and engulfs its food by trapping it inside food vacuoles. This type of nutrition where the food is taken wholly inside the body and digested is known as holozoic nutrition. Most larger animals and birds follow a holozoic mode of nutrition.
