Solution

The correct option is D Proteinaceous filaments
  • 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.
  • Microfilaments (actin filaments) are the filaments that are made up of actin protein.
  • Microtubule is a tubular linear polymer of tubulin protein.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Proteinaceous filaments'.
