Solution

The correct option is A Dome shaped muscle
  • The diaphragm is a part of the abdominopelvic cavity.
  • It is located below the thoracic cavity and above the pelvic cavity.
  • Its dome-shaped roof is the thoracic diaphragm, a thin sheet of muscle under the lungs, and its floor is the pelvic inlet, opening into the pelvis. Hence, the diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle.
So, the correct answer is 'dome-shaped muscle'.
