Solution

The correct option is B Sarcoplasm
  • Sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm of a myocyte (muscle fibre, muscle cell).
  • It is comparable to the cytoplasm of other cells, but it contains unusually large amounts of glycosomes (granules of stored glycogen) and significant amounts of myoglobin, an oxygen-binding protein. Hence, the Cytoplasm of a muscle cell is sarcoplasm.
So, the correct answer is 'sarcoplasm'.
