Answer and Explanation:

~khan academy verified~

Correct-

Cilia

The cell has cilia, which are short, hair-like structures that "wave" like grass in the wind, helping move the cell through its environment.

Flagella

The cell has two flagella, which are long, whip-like "tails" that cells use to help propel the cell through its environment.

Incorrect-

Pseudopodia

The cell does not have pseudopodia ("false feet"), which are extensions of the cytoplasm that allow the cell to "crawl" through its environment

Answer:

A- Flagella

Step-by-step explanation:

A flagella is a tail-like structure that helps some single celled organisms move. The descriptions for Pseudopodia and Cilia are switched, therefore it can only be answer A
