Solution

The correct option is A Plant cells
Basal body is also known as kinetosome. This is a short cylinder like a centriole, consists of nine triplet microtubules; it organizes assembly of the axoneme microtubules.
Animal cells posses centrioles and basal bodies, which are involved in cell division.
Centrioles are cylindrical organelles that help in cell division. Basal bodies are formed from centrioles.
Microtubules are filamentous structures formed from centrioles, which are involved in chromosomal separation during cell division. Nine triplets microtubules together form basal body.
Plant cells do not possess centriole. Hence, it does not possess basal bodies formed from centrioles.
