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.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Centriole'.
