The correct Answer is:
B
Fimbriae or pili are fine hair like appendages used by bacteria for attachment rather than motility.
Pili are longer than fimbriae and are one or two per cells.
Some special type of pili called sex pili are present in certain strains of bacteria which help the bacterium for forming conjugation canal during sexual reproduction by conjugation method. Firnbriae also help bacterium for cell to cell adhering and colonisation.
