  4. Pseudopodia, ciliary movement, contractile vacuole and phagocytosis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An Amoeba is a type of organism belongs to kingdom Protista. They have the ability to alter its shape, primarily by extending and retracting pseudopods. Amoeba has contractile vacuole which expels excess water from the cell. The various processes which are involved in the nutrition of Amoeba are:
