The most suitable statement about how will the amoeba in the pond protect themselves from this unfavorable condition is:
C:By secreting a thick cell wall which encloses many amoebae in it to prevent loss of water, forming a cyst until favorable conditions emerge

B: By secreting a thick, protective wall around the cell membrane to prevent loss of water, forming a cyst until favorable conditions emerge

Explanation:

A is wrong because the purpose is to prevent water loss, not water entrance, which is the main thing amoeba need to protect themselves from

B is exactly correct, Edmentum confirmed

C is wrong because amoeba wouldn't be able to enclose itself with other amoeba and that doesn't seem beneficial
