Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Striated muscle cells are composed of proteins as actin, myosin and titin and other accessory proteins. These proteins are present in thin and thick filaments, which repeat along the length of the myofibril. This structure gives the striped appearance to striated muscles.
Smooth muscle fibers do not appear to be striated. Smooth muscles also contain actin and myosin. But the structural arrangement is different in smooth muscles as in layers or bundles of fibers.
Hence the correct option is C.
