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.
