Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
A bacteria which have a large number of flagella all over the cell is categorized as Peritrichous.Bacteria are classified into four groups: monotrichous (having one flagellum), amphitrichous (single flagellum at both ends), lophotrichous (numerous flagella as a tuft), and peritrichous (flagella distributed all over the cell except at the poles).
Peritrichous bacteria possess multiple flagella that can grow from essentially any point on the cell body surface.
