Solution

The correct option is B Muscle contraction
Actin filaments, usually in association with myosin, are responsible for many types of cell movements. Myosin is the prototype of a molecular motor-a protein, that converts chemical energy in the form of ATP to mechanical energy, thus generating force and movement. Such movement is muscle contraction.
Hence the correct option is B.
