Aaron · Answer 1

The last one, to swim

Explanation:

The function of cilia and flagella move liquid past the surface of the cell. For single cells, such as sperm, this enables them to swim. For cells anchored in a tissue, like the epithelial cells lining our air passages, this moves liquid over the surface of the cell (e. g., driving particle-laden mucus toward the throat).
