Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
The change in the position of a body part or structure is referred to as movement. However, not all movements result in the change of location of the organism. There are 3 types of movements - amoeboid, ciliary and muscular.
Amoeboid movement involves pseudopodia, which are formed by cytoplasmic streaming, eg. Amoeba, macrophages, WBC, etc.
Ciliary movement involves the coordinated movements of specialised hair-like structures called cilia, eg. Paramecium uses cilia for taking food inside the cell as well as locomotion.. Movement shown by muscles is called muscular movement.
