Question #3
Assertion (A): Cilia and flagella are involved in cell movement.
Reason (R): They contain microtubules arranged in a 9+2 pattern.
A. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
B. A true, R false.
C. A false, R true.
D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.

Correct Answer: Option D
