(B) The cytoskeleton is an elaborate network of filamentous proteinaceous structures present in the cytoplasm.It is primarily composed of three types of protein filaments: microtubules (made of tubulin),microfilaments (made of actin),and intermediate filaments (made of various fibrous proteins).Therefore,the cytoskeleton is composed of proteins.

Match the following columns correctly:

Column $I$ (Filament) Column $II$ (Structure $\&$ Function)

$(a)$ Microfilaments $(i)$ Strong and fibrous proteins; provide support to filaments and tubules

$(b)$ Microtubules $(ii)$ Actin proteins; responsible for cytoplasmic streaming

$(c)$ Intermediate filaments $(iii)$ Globular tubulin proteins; responsible for chromosome movement

Column $I$ (Filament)	Column $II$ (Structure $\&$ Function)
$(a)$ Microfilaments	$(i)$ Strong and fibrous proteins; provide support to filaments and tubules
$(b)$ Microtubules	$(ii)$ Actin proteins; responsible for cytoplasmic streaming
