Correct answer: A. Cocci
- A. Cocci
- B. Bacilli
- C. Streptobacilli
- D. Vibrio
Explanation
Cocci are spherical bacteria and are commonly non-motile, so they usually lack flagella, although exceptions exist. Students may choose bacilli because rod-shaped bacteria can also be non-motile, but many bacilli and vibrios commonly possess flagella.
