Correct answer: C. Phagocytosis
- A. Endosmosis
- B. Pinocytosis
- C. Phagocytosis
- D. None of these
Explanation
Amoeba engulfs solid food along with some surrounding water by phagocytosis, forming a food vacuole. Students may choose pinocytosis because it involves taking in liquid, but pinocytosis is uptake of fluid droplets rather than engulfment of a food particle.
