Solution

The correct option is C Cytoskeleton
  • The eukaryotic cell is composed of a network of protein fibres that is known as the cytoskeleton.
  • It is responsible for the movement of organelles around the cytoplasm (organelles are attached to the cytoskeleton).
  • This network of proteins consists of protein microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Cytoskeleton'.
