Solution

The correct option is B 250 oA
  • A microtubule is a tubular linear polymer of tubulin protein which is a part of the cytoskeleton that helps to provide structure and shape to the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell.
  • Protofilaments (tubulin dimers) undergo polymerization to form the microtubules and it generally consists of 13 linear protofilaments which are wound together to form a hollow cylinder of 25nm or 250 angstroms.
  • So, the correct answer is '250 Angstroms'.
