Detailed explanation-1: -Amoeba digests its food in the food vacuole. It feeds on microscopic organisms. When it senses food, it pushes out the pseudopodia around the food particle and engulfs it. The food is trapped in the food vacuole where it gets acted upon by the digestive juices and gets digested.

Detailed explanation-2: -A contractile vacuole is an organelle in Amoeba that helps in the removal of wastes and excess water. It is involved in osmoregulation, respiration, and excretion. Food vacuoles do the process of digestion. Thus the correct answer is option C.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amoeba is a microorganism which have only single cell body. It is found in pond water. It does not have a fixed shape like other organisms. Ingestion: Method of taking food inside the body is called ingestion. The finger-like structures are called pseudopodia.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the process of ingestion, the food is taken into the body by swallowing. Amoeba forms a food vacuole by using their false feet (pseudopodia) and engulfing the food. Thus, the process of engulfing the food is termed phagocytosis.
