Answer: Option A

Nutrition in an amoeba occurs through a process called phagocytosis where the entire organism pretty much engulfs the food it plans on eating up. As amoeba is a unicellular organism, it does not have any specialized organ for the mechanism of nutrition. It directly swallows the whole food anda food vacuole is created. Digestive juices then get secreted in the vacuole and the food is slowly digested. After this, the waste is excreted.
