Solution
The correct option is C Axoneme
Cilia and flagella are vibratile hair like narrow protoplasmic processes present on the free surface of the cell, which are connected with the motility of cell. Each one is made of four parts - basal body, rootlets, basal plate and shaft. Shaft consists of an external membrane or sheath, a semifluid matrix, and an axoneme. Axoneme has nine peripheral doublet fibrils, two central singlet fibrils, central sheath, linkers and spokes.So, the correct answer is 'Axoneme'
