Solution

The correct option is A Tubulin
The cytoskeletal structures are of three types: microtubules (made of tubulin protein), microfilaments (made of actin protein), and intermediate fibres (made of keratin protein).
Microtubules are basic structures of spindle apparatus, centrioles, basal bodies, cilia, and flagella.
