Solution

The correct option is A Kinetosome
  • A eukaryotic flagellum is a bundle of nine fused pairs of microtubule doublets surrounding two central single microtubules. The so-called "9 + 2" structure is characteristic of the core of the eukaryotic flagellum.
  • The flagellar apparatus in motile fungal spores is very complex consisting of the flagellum itself, a kinetosome (blepharoplast) to which the microtubular components or axoneme of the flagellum is attached and rhizoplast or rootlet by which kinetosome is attached to nucleus of the zoospore.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
