Solution

The correct option is A Locomotion
  • Locomotion is when the movement of a part of the body leads to a change in the position and location of the organism.
  • The act of changing place or position by the entire body or by one or more of its parts is called movement.
  • In multicellular animals, these movements include walking, running, jumping, crawling, climbing, swimming, flying, galloping, slithering, and so on.
  • Hence, the ability to move from one place to another is called locomotion.

So, the correct answer is 'Locomotion'.
