Small hair-like structures on the outside of some cells
A
actin
B
tubulin
C
cilia
D
flagella
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cilia, tail-like projections found on the surface of cells, are perhaps best known as molecular flippers that help cells move around. Johns Hopkins researchers and colleagues have found a previously unrecognized role for tiny hair-like cell structures known as cilia: They help form our sense of touch.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. The bronchus in the lungs are lined with hair-like projections called cilia that move microbes and debris up and out of the airways. Scattered throughout the cilia are goblet cells that secrete mucus which helps protect the lining of the bronchus and trap microorganisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cilia are short, hair like appendages extending from the surface a living cell. Cilia are found exclusively in the prokaryotes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is Cilia. Cilia works continuously to move the mucus produced by the glands, the mucus traps external particles and thus expels them from the body. Cilia are mobile, tiny, finger-like projections on the surface of airway cells. Cilia line the airways and help move mucus up and out of the lungs.
