Detailed explanation-1: -A single-celled eukaryotic organism with no precise shape that moves via pseudopodia. Pseudopodia, also known as pseudopods, are cell extensions. It is also called “false feet.” The pseudopodia help in movement and food capturing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pseudopodia or pseudopods are temporary projections of the cell and the word literally means “false feet". The cell uses the pseudopodia as a means of locomotion.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct option is ‘Pseudopodia’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pseudopodia are temporary projections of the cytoplasm of a cell. Pseudopodia are used for locomotion and feeding in amoeba and white blood cells. The activation of the polymerization of the actin filaments forces the membrane to extend and form pseudopodia.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer is (c) capture of food and movement. Explanation: Amoeba constantly changes its shape and position. It pushes out one, or more finger-like projections, called pseudopodia or false feet for movement and capture of food.
