Solution
The correct option is C Amphitrichous
There are four types of flagellar arrangements based on the number and placement of flagella on the cell. These are, 1. Monotrichous - A single flagellum extends from one end of the cell.2. Amphitrichous - A single flagellum or multiple flagella extend from two ends of the cell.
3. Lophotrichous - Tuft of flagella extend from one end or both ends of the cell.4. Peritrichous - Multiple flagella randomly distributed over the entire bacterial cell.Thus, the correct answer is 'Amphitrichous.'
