Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lophotrichous refers to having multiple flagella attached at one or both ends of the cell. Peritrichous refers to having flagella all over the surface of the cell, monotrichous refers to having a single flagellum attached at one end of the cell, and bitrichous would refer to having a flagellum at both ends of the cell (which is not one of the choices). "Flagellated" is a general term that simply means having flagella, but does not specify the arrangement.
