C
pseudopods
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Sarcodines perform their movement using membrane protrusions called pseudopodia (false-feet) which are supported by actin filaments by the help of action potentials. These structures of sarcodines also help them approach their prey or food and engulf by phagocytosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sarcodina Those Protozoa which form pseudopods used in locomotion and feeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -The word pseudopod means “false foot.” Pseudopods form when cytoplasm flows toward one location and the rest of the organism follows. Pseudopods enable sarcodines to move. For example, amoebas use pseudopods to move away from bright light. Sarcodines also use pseudopods to trap food.

Detailed explanation-4: -sarcodine, any protozoan of the superclass (sometimes class or subphylum) Sarcodina. These organisms have streaming cytoplasm and use temporary cytoplasmic extensions called pseudopodia in locomotion (called amoeboid movement) and feeding.
