Solution

The correct option is D locomotion
The act of moving body parts is called movement. For example, movement of limbs, movement of the head, etc., whereas locomotion is the characteristic feature of living organisms that help them in moving from one place to another entirely, for which, they use their locomotory organs. For example, strong muscles and light bones work together to help the birds fly.
