A) natural selection cannot account for the rise of the prokaryotic flagellum.
B) ancestral versions of this protein assemblage were either less functional, or had different functions, than modern prokaryotic flagella.

D) we can conclude that both of these structures must have arisen through the direct action of an intelligent "designer."
E) Both A and C are true.
Answer: B) ancestral versions of this protein assemblage were either less functional, or had different functions, than modern prokaryotic flagella.
