Amoeba move by crawling over a surface (amoeboid movement).Which one of the following processes is part of amoeboid movement?
A)polymerization or extension of actin filaments to form bulges in the plasma membrane
B)setting up microtubule extensions that vesicles can follow in the movement of cytoplasm
C)reinforcing the pseudopod with intermediate filaments

Amoeboid movement involves the extension of actin filaments to form bulges in the plasma membrane, which are then filled with cytoplasm and used as a means of locomotion. This process is known as pseudopod extension. The other options, setting up microtubule extensions and reinforcing pseudopods with intermediate filaments, are not part of amoeboid movement.
