Solution
The correct option is C Centriole
Cilia and flagella are small hair-like projections from the cell and are composed of microtubules which are arranged with their positive end at the outer tip of the axoneme.
A microtubule is a tubular linear polymer of tubulin protein which is a part of the cytoskeleton that helps to provide structure and shape to the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell.
In animal cells, the centrioles forms the flagella and cilia.
