  • Pilus refers to a thin and rigid hair-like appendage that protrudes from the cell surface of bacteria (prokaryotic cell) and is responsible for bacterial conjugation.
  • They are absent in eukaryotic cells.
  • The ribosomes present in a bacteria and the cellular organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) are 70S type and those present in a eukaryotic cell (both plants and animals) are 80S type.
  • So, the correct answer is 'a and b are wrong, c is correct'.
