Nonmembranous Organelles
Organelles in cells that are not enclosed within membranes, such as ribosomes and centrioles.
Surface Area
The total area that the surface of an object occupies, often relevant in processes such as absorption and evaporation.
Microvilli
Tiny projections found on the surface of some cells that increase the surface area for absorption.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Microvilli are small finger-like projections on the surface of cells that increase their surface area, allowing for more efficient absorption and secretion of substances. Cilia and flagella are both involved in movement, while microtubules are structural components within the cell.
