Solution

The correct option is C

Pseudopodia


Pseudopodia (Latin for "false feet") are responsible for movement and capture of food in amoeba. They are actually projections of the cell membrane used for locomotion and taking in nutrients. Cilia are the locomotory organ in some of the protozoans while legs are the locomotory structures in animals.

The cell wall is the protective, semi-permeable outer layer of a plant cell.
