B)Cilia
C)Microtubules
D)Actin filaments

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microtubules help maintain the shape of the cell, move organelles around, and aid in cell division by providing a framework for intracellular transport and mitotic spindle formation. Actin filaments also maintain cell shape and play a role in cell motility, including moving organelles and facilitating cytokinesis during cell division. Intermediate fibers are important for maintaining cell structure and integrity but are not as directly involved in cell movement or division as microtubules and actin filaments. Cilia are specialized structures that aid in cell motility but are not as prevalent in maintaining cell shape or aiding in cell division.
