A Correct answer
Explanation

Motile bacteria move about with structures called flagella. Many species in this family are highly motile with numerous flagella that allow several different modes of locomotion. Most of these movements are directly tied to the differential expression of flagella and other factors. When in liquid environments normal movement is facilitated by swimming.
