Solution

The correct option is B Flagella
Most protists move with the help of flagella, pseudopods or cilia. A flagellum is a long, whip-like structure that helps some single-celled organisms move. It is composed of microtubules. They help propel cells and organisms in a whip-like motion.
So, the correct answer is option B.
