Vedclass · Answer

(D) The cytoskeleton is an elaborate network of filamentous proteinaceous structures present in the cytoplasm. It is primarily composed of three types of protein filaments: $1$. Microtubules: These are hollow tubes made of tubulin protein. $2$. Microfilaments: These are thin,solid rods made of actin protein. $3$. Intermediate filaments: These are fibrous proteins that provide structural support. Therefore,all these components collectively form the cytoskeleton.

Column $I$ (Filament)	Column $II$ (Structure $\&$ Function)
$(a)$ Microfilaments	$(i)$ Strong and fibrous proteins; provide support to filaments and tubules
$(b)$ Microtubules	$(ii)$ Actin proteins; responsible for cytoplasmic streaming
$(c)$ Intermediate filaments	$(iii)$ Globular tubulin proteins; responsible for chromosome movement
