Solution

The correct option is A Locomotion
In some parasitic flagellates such as trypanosomes and trichomonads, undulating membrane is a fin-like extension usually associated with the flagellum. The presence of undulating membrane enhances motility of the parasite in a viscous fluid, such as blood.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
