  • (A) monotrichous
  • (B) atrichous
  • (C) peritrichous
  • (D) lophotrichous
Correct Answer - Option(B)

Explanation by: Kirti

Atrichous bacteria lack flagella completely and are non-motile.

  • Monotrichous bacteria have a single flagellum at one end.
  • Peritrichous bacteria have flagella all over their surface.
  • Lophotrichous bacteria have a cluster of flagella at one end.

Since bacteria without any flagella are called atrichous, option B is correct.
