Solution

The correct option is C Helically arranged protein molecules
Prokaryotic flagellum consists of 3 parts, namely filament, hook and basal body. The filament is composed of helically arranged protein molecules. This forms a hollow core. The protein present in flagellum is flagellin protein.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Helically arranged protein molecules.'
