Solution

The correct option is B
Pseudopodia

Pseudopodia (false feet) are temporary projections of the eukaryotic cell membrane. They help amoeba in locomotion and in capturing food. Pseudopodia advance towards the food particles, they engulf the food and the food gets digested inside a food vacuole.
