B Correct answer
Explanation

Amoeba exhibits holozoic nutrition, where it ingests solid food particles through phagocytosis, forming food vacuoles where intracellular digestion occurs. Saprotrophic nutrition involves feeding on dead organic matter externally, parasitic nutrition involves living on a host organism, and ingestion is merely the process of taking in food, not a mode of nutrition.
