Correct Answer: Filament, hook and basal body


Solution : The correct option is Filament, hook and basal body.

The bacterial flagellum is a whip-like appendage that protrudes from the surface of certain bacteria, allowing them to move. It plays a crucial role in the bacterium's motility.

Filament: This is the long, helical structure that extends outward from the cell.

Hook: The hook is a curved structure that connects the filament to the basal body.

Basal Body: The basal body is the motor of the flagellum, anchored in the cell membrane and wall.
