Solution

The correct option is B Amoeba
Pseudopodia are temporary structures formed by the streaming flow of cytoplasm. In Amoeba, they are formed by an extension of the ectoplasm with an axial core of endoplasm. They are broader, shorter and blunt at the tip and are formed and retracted quickly. The movements performed by the formation and retraction of pseudopodia are called amoeboid movements, which bring about locomotion and a change in shape of the body. Thus option C is the correct answer.
