None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Some heterotrophic protists utilize flagella. Flagella are long, threadlike structures found on the surface of the cell. These are called flagellate protists.
Detailed explanation-2: -The amoebozoans are classified as protists with pseudopodia which are used in locomotion and feeding. Amoebozoans live in marine environments, fresh water, or in soil. In addition to the defining pseudopodia, they also lack a shell and do not have a fixed body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Members of the phylum Sarcodina are the amoebas and their relatives. Amoebas consist of a single cell without a definite shape. They feed on small organisms and particles of organic matter, and they engulf the particles by phagocytosis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pseudopodia in amoeba are used for locomotion, buoyancy, and food ingestion (phagocytosis). The type of cellular locomotion is used to be the basis for grouping animal-like protists (protozoans). Accordingly, protozoans may be divided into Sarcodina, Mastigophora, Ciliophora, and Sporozoa.
