The correct response is:
The student is correct; amoebas are probably alive because they have reproductive capabilities and create offspring through reproduction.
Amoebas are indeed alive, and their method of reproduction, which involves a single cell splitting to form two new cells, is a recognized form of asexual reproduction. They exhibit all the characteristics of life, including growth, reproduction, and response to their environment.
