• B. The food is swallowed by amoeba creating a food vacuole.
• C. Digestion of food takes place in an amoeba with the help of digestive juices.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Amoeba first breaks down the food into simpler particles and then swallows it.

Amoeba is a unicellular organism with a very simple body structure. It directly swallows the whole food into a food vacuole. Digestive juices then get secreted in the vacuole and the food is then slowly digested.
