Both the statement and the reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the statement, as shown in option B.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The amoeba is a unicellular organism that assumes a gelatinous composition and without the presence of cilia or flagellum, which are a kind of hair present in the movement.
- Despite being an organism with a simple composition, the amoeba feeds through Egestion, when it includes other organisms or elements in its structure.
- Egestion takes place through the permanent membrane that surrounds the amoeba's body.
- This membrane has pseudopods that encompass the organism to be absorbed until it forms a kind of food vessel.
This process has nothing to do with the absence of cilia.
