According to Figure 3-3, the three different components that make up the cytoskeleton in all body cells are microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Option A includes thick filaments and thin filaments, which are components of muscle fibers, not the cytoskeleton. Option B includes microfilaments and microvilli, but does not include intermediate filaments or microtubules. Option D includes microvilli, which are not component of cytoskeleton. Option E includes macrotubules and tubules which are not components of the cytoskeleton either.
