Final answer:

Peripodia is not a type of pseudopod found in protozoa; rather, Lobopodia, Reticulopodia, and Filopodia are the correct types.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the types of pseudopodia found in protozoa, Peripodia is not one. The three main types of pseudopodia that protozoa exhibit include Lobopodia, which have large, blunt extensions; Reticulopodia, with net-like formations; and Filopodia, which are thin and thread-like. Amoebozoa, for instance, display Lobopodia. They use these structures for locomotion and to capture food, extending their cytoplasm into the lobopodia to propel the cell forward.
