B
Formation of cleavage furrows.
C
Contracting of muscle cells.
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Microfilament functions include cytokinesis, amoeboid movement, cell motility, changes in cell shape, endocytosis and exocytosis, cell contractility, and mechanical stability.

Detailed explanation-2: -Microfilaments are responsible for muscle contraction, cell motility, cytokinesis, bulk transport, mechanical stability and amoeboid movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -Microtubules are important for establishing and maintaining growth directionality and focus, whereas microfilaments are required for delivering material to the actual growth sites.
