Answer :
The statements which are consistent with structure and function of intermediate filaments are about number of strands, mechanical strength and cell junctions, which suggests that option A, B, D are the right answer.
Each filament is made of eight strands which are made from staggered tetramers linked end to end. The intermediate filaments protect cells from mechanical stress because of their high tensile strength and resist stretching. Desmosomes are intercellular junctions which enable cell to cell adhesion and anchor the intermediate filament network to the plasma membrane. Intermediate filaments are found in the nuclear lamina inside the body. Intermediate filaments are very stable structures which form the true skeleton of the cell. It also provides elasticity to the sarcomere.
