Tubulin protein is major component of
A
flagella and cilia
B
volvox and mosses
C
ferns and cilia
D
flagella and mosses
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus in flagella and cilia, the pair of dynein, a motor protein, and tubulin, a rail or cytoskeletal protein, replaces the pair of myosin and actin in muscle and other motile systems. Later still another motor protein, “kinesin, ‘’ was found to be involved in microtubule-dependent motility.

Detailed explanation-2: -Microtubules are the thickest of the cytoskeletal fibers. These are hollow tubes that can dissolve and reform quickly. Microtubules guide organelle movement and are the structures that pull chromosomes to their poles during cell division. They are also the structural components of flagella and cilia.
