D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic motile cilium and flagellum are structurally identical. Each is a bundle of nine fused pairs of microtubule doublets surrounding two central single microtubules. The movement of both cilia and flagella is caused by the interactions of these microtubules.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary function of cilia and flagella is movement. They are the means by which many microscopic unicellular and multicellular organisms move from place to place. Many of these organisms are found in aqueous environments, where they are propelled along by the beating of cilia or the whip-like action of flagella.
