Hands-like structure of Amoeba
A
Pseudoliberal
B
Pseudonym
C
Pseudopodia
D
Pseudoscience
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The arm-like temporary projections arising from the eukaryotic cell membrane in the direction of movement are referred to as pseudopodia. The pseudopodia are made up of actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. They are filled with cytoplasm. Pseudopodia are commonly found in amoebas.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pseudopodia are arm-like projections filled with cytoplasm. The projecting cytoplasm, in turn, primarily contains cytoskeleton, such as actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. True amoeba (genus Amoeba) and amoeboid (amoeba-like) cells form pseudopodia for locomotion and ingestion of particles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amoeba move and feed by using pseudopods, which are bulges of cytoplasm formed by the coordinated action of actin microfilaments pushing out the plasma membrane that surrounds the cell. The appearance and internal structure of pseudopods are used to distinguish groups of amoebae from one another.

Detailed explanation-4: -Morphologically, pseudopodia can be assigned to one of four types: filopodia, lobopodia, rhizopodia, and axopodia.
