Solution
The correct option is D Movement
Locomotion is when the movement of a part of the body leads to a change in the position and location of the organism.
In multicellular animals, these movements include walking, running, jumping, crawling, climbing, swimming, flying, galloping, slithering, and so on.
Cytoplasmic streaming, also called protoplasmic streaming, is the movement of the fluid substance (cytoplasm) within a plant or animal cell. If one of the proteins remains fixed on a substrate, such as a microfilament or a microtubule, the motor proteins can move organelles and other molecules through the cytoplasm.
