Answer:

The correct answer would be option A.

It can be best explained with the help of sliding filament theory which states that muscle contraction takes place by sliding of actin (thin filament) and myosin (thick filament). past each other.

Calcium ions released as a result of action potential bind to the troponin on actin which unmasks the active sites.

Myosin heads bind to these exposed active sites and form cross-bridges.

With the help of ATP hydrolysis, myosin pulls the attached actin filaments and Z line towards the center of A band.

Consequently, the sarcomere shortens and results in contraction.
