Solution

The correct option is B Treadmilling
  • Treadmilling is a phenomenon observed in cytoskeletons like actin filaments and microtubules. In this, one end of the filaments grow while the other end of the filaments shrinks.
  • Due to this, it appears as if the filament is moving in the cytoplasm. It is the assembly and disassembly of the filament.
  • During treadmilling, the length of the filament remains constant as at one end assembly takes place and at another end, it dissociates.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
