Answer

Correct option: B.

Pili and fimbriae are mainly involved in motility of bacterial cells.

b
(b) : Pili and fimbriae are bacterial appendages which are not involved in locomotion. Actually, pili are long fewer and thicker tubular outgrowths which develop in response to $F^+$ or fertility factor in Gram negative bacteria. Being long they are helpful in attaching to recipient cell and forming conjugation tube. Fimbriae are small bristlelike fibres sprouting from cell surface in large number. There are $300-400$ of them per cell. They are involved in attaching bacteria to solid surfaces.
