How can the amebozoans,cercozoans,and radiolarians be distinguished from each other with microscopy if they all have pseudopodia?
A) Amebozoans have lobe-shaped pseudopodia, cercozoans and radiolarians both have threadlike pseudopodia, and radiolarians have radial symmetry.
B) Amebozoans have lobe-shaped pseudopodia, and cercozoans are significantly smaller in size but contain threadlike pseudopodia just like radiolarians.
C) Amebozoans have large pseudopodia, cercozoans have lobe-shaped pseudopodia, and radiolarians have radial threadlike pseudopodia.
D) Amebozoans have multiple lobe-shaped pseudopodia, cercozoans have one or two threadlike pseudopodia, and radiolarians have multiple threadlike pseudopodia.

Amebozoans have lobe-shaped pseudopodia, which are different from the threadlike ones of cercozoans and radiolarians. Radiolarians can be further distinguished by their radial symmetry.
