Hint:
Pseudopodia refer to false feet of Amoeba as these are not specific structural body parts by cytoplasmic extensions that help the body move. Due to its thick or jelly-like consistency, it makes the movement flexible.

Complete answer:
Teeth in rabbits are used to hold food items, pierce them, chew them, grasp them, and tear them. Just like other mammals, these are used for the mastication of food.
Suckers upon a scolex of tapeworms are used as an attachment tool to stick to the host’s body. Usually, they use it to latch on to internal organs like the small intestine, vessels et cetera. Tapeworm is a flatworm and its attachment to the host is a parasitic mechanism to feed on/from the host's body.
Spicules in Leucosolenia are found on the outer side of the body. These provide support to the body, protect it from attacks, and provide a loose framework for the body. It is produced by amoebocytes. These are needle-shaped and made up of silica and calcium carbonate.
Thus, the correct answer is: Legs in cockroach

Option ‘C’ is correct

Note:
Legs in cockroaches are analogous to pseudopodia in amoeba as both these ‘body parts’ help the respective organism move from one place to another.
A cockroach has three pairs of legs named with respect to its position with the thorax: Prothoracic, Mesothoracic, and Metathoracic legs.
