“Conveyer belts” of the cells that help move things around within the cytoplasm:
A
Microtubules
B
Centrioles
C
Vesicles
D
Sugar
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Microtubules, which are about 25 nanometers in diameter, form part of the cytoskeleton that gives structure and shape to a cell, and also serve as conveyor belts moving other organelles throughout the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -They function both to determine cell shape and in a variety of cell movements, including some forms of cell locomotion, the intracellular transport of organelles, and the separation of chromosomes during mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Motor Proteins Power Cargo Transport along Cytoskeletal Filaments. Microtubules and actin filaments together make up the tracks along which cargoes can be transported, delivered, and anchored (Fig. 1). As such, they are key components crucial to organizing the rest of the cytoplasm in a cell.
