- D Motility
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Motility
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
An elaborate network of filamentous proteinaceous structures consisting of microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments present in cytoplasm is collectively referred to as the cytoskeleton.
