Correct Answer:

White blood cell

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4)- White blood cell

The cell that is amoeboid in shape is the White blood cell (WBC). White blood cells, also known as leukocytes, are part of the immune system and are capable of changing their shape, exhibiting amoeboid movement. This characteristic allows them to move through tissues and blood vessels to reach sites of infection or inflammation where they are needed to combat pathogens.
