The flagella is an elongated filament-like structure which allows the bacteria to move or show locomotion. There are different types of bacteria which are classified on the basis of the presence and number of flagella around the cell. When the flagella is present at both the opposite ends of the bacterium, they are known as amphitrichous. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
