Correct Answer: Pseudopodia


Solution : The correct option is pseudopodia.

 

The locomotory organ of Amoeba is its pseudopodia. These are temporary, finger-like projections of the cell membrane and cytoplasm that allow Amoeba to move and capture food. This locomotion mechanism is characteristic of amoebas and other similar single-celled organisms. They extend their pseudopodia in the direction of movement and then flow the rest of the cell's body into it. This allows them to move in an amoeboid fashion, which is where the name "amoeba" comes from.
