Based on the "How does the plasma membrane regulate inbound and outbound traffic?" diagram, which type of transport is specifically described as "Large molecules are taken in when the plasma membrane pinches inward, forming a vesicle"?

  • A: Exocytosis
  • B: Passive transport
  • C: Endocytosis
  • D: Active transport
