Explanation / Answer

(1)C.Elasticity

Muscle elasticity is the ability of your muscles to extend in an activity and resume their contracted position.

(2)B.involuntary

contraction of smooth muscle and cardiac muscle is not under voluntary control (involuntary)

(3)A, H Zone

The width of the H zone decreases during a contraction and increases during relaxation.

(4)C.Tropomyosin functions to cover the myosin binding sites on actin.
