Answer (2)

b. because only amoebas use the false foot or pseudopodia

The correct answer is b. an amoeboid protozoan, as amoebas use pseudopods (false feet) for movement. Other types of protozoans, such as ciliates and sporozoans, do not utilize pseudopodia. Amoeboid protozoans can change shape and extend these structures to anchor and pull themselves forward.
