The motile bacteria are able to move by:

1. Fimbriae
2. Flagella
3. Cilia
4. Pili

Correct answer: Flagella

Solution

Bacteria move using flagella, which are long, whip-like structures that rotate to propel the cell. Fimbriae and pili mainly help with attachment or DNA transfer, while cilia are found in eukaryotic cells, not bacteria.
