Solution

The correct option is B Sperm
Sperm is a male reproductive cell which is flagellated. Beating of the flagella allows the sperm to swim towards the egg, which is immobile, within the female reproductive tract.
Cells of the intestine do not bear flagella but have some finger-like projections called villi. These help to increase the surface area for absorption.
