Answer: a) inside specialised cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intracellular digestion is a form of digestion which takes place inside the cell, in fact in the cytoplasm of the cell. In this type of digestion complex materials are broken into smaller parts within a cell. For examples, in unicellular organisms such as Paramecium and Amoeba, intracellular digestion occurs to get nutrients from the food.
