Answer:

C)Both proteins bind ATP and F-actin

*C option is not mentioned* there is a flaw in the question

Step-by-step explanation:

Two families of motor proteins, kinesin and dynein, transport membrane-bounded vesicles, proteins, and organelles along microtubules. Nearly all kinesins move cargo toward the (+) end of microtubules (anterograde transport), whereas dyneins transport cargo toward the (−) end (retrograde transport).While

both the protiens have globular ATP-binding heads that function as the motor domain and interact with the microtubules.
