Way a protozoan moves by lashing one or more of its whiplike parts
A
Flagellate
B
Host
C
Viruses
D
Parasites
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Flagella-long thread-like structures that extend from the cell surface. The flagella move in a whip-like motion that produces waves that propel the microbe around. Amoeboid movement-the organism moves by sending out pseudopodia, temporary protrusions that fill with cytoplasm that flows from the body of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -flagellate, (subphylum Mastigophora), any of a group of protozoans, mostly uninucleate organisms, that possess, at some time in the life cycle, one to many flagella for locomotion and sensation. (A flagellum is a hairlike structure capable of whiplike lashing movements that furnish locomotion.)

Detailed explanation-3: -Flagellates (subphylum mastigophora) are single-celled protozoa that move using flagella.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flagellates are protozoans that have one or a few long whip-like hairs called flagella that help them move around. A flagellate is a cell or creature that has one or more flagella, which are whip-like appendages.

Detailed explanation-5: -Trichomonas vaginalis is a small anaerobic, parabasalid protozoan that moves with the aid of four whip-like flagella that protrude from its front end.
