Solution
The correct option is
C
Biceps and triceps
Muscles work in pairs and their action in the opposite direction causes a back and forth motion of the limbs.
For example - biceps and triceps work in a pair to pull the arm towards and away from the body.
They are an example of an antagonistic pair of muscles in the body.
