Solution

The correct option is A Actin
  • Microfilaments are composed of linear polymers of G-actin proteins, and generate force when the growing (plus) end of the filament pushes against a barrier, such as the cell membrane.
  • Their functions include Muscle contraction, Tensile strength, Cell movement and Intracellular transport/trafficking.
So, the correct option is 'Actin'.
