Solution

The correct option is A Antagonistic muscles
Biceps brachii and triceps branchii are antagonistic muscles.
Antagonistic muscles often occur in pairs, called antagonistic pairs. As one muscle contracts, the other relaxes. An example of an antagonistic pair is the biceps and triceps.
Hence the correct option is A.
