Solution

The correct option is A Centriole
  • The modified cell organelle involved in the formation of cilia and flagellum is centriole. The basal body is a protein structure found at the base of cilia and flagellum.
  • It is formed from a centriole. These basal bodies act as anchoring sites for proteins that in turn anchor microtubules, and are known as the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC).
  • These microtubules facilitate the movement of vesicles and organelles within many eukaryotic cells.
    So, the correct option is B.
