Solution
The correct option is C Dellinger
Dellinger (1906) viewed amoebae from a side and noted that during locomotion the main part of the body remains lifted from the substratum and supported on tips of the pseudopodium. Thus, amoeba virtually walk on pseudopodia just as higher animals move on the legs. He explained that amoeba extends a pseudopodium free in water and swings it about. As the pseudopodium strikes an object, it sticks to it, this causes contraction of an endoplasmic fibrous network of contractile elements, pulling the whole body mass close to the pseudopodium. So, the correct answer is option C.
