The solid linear cytoskeletal elements having a diameter of 7 nm and made up of a single type of monomer are known as:
  1. Microtubules
  2. Microfilaments
  3. Intermediate filaments
  4. Lamins

Solution

Microfilaments or actin filaments are long cytoskeletal filaments present in the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cells. These filaments are primarily composed of polymers of actin and are 7 nm in length. The globular monomeric actin polymerizes to form the filamentous F-actin.
