Solution

The correct option is B Both A and B.
Muscle tissue is made up of elongated muscle fibres. Muscles which are under control of our will are voluntary muscles. Such muscles are attached to bones hence, called as skeletal muscles. These muscles help in body movement. These muscles, when stained, show alternate light and dark bands under the microscope. Therefore, also called as striated muscles.
Muscles, which are not controlled by our will are involuntary muscles. These muscles do not show striations when stained. Hence, called as smooth muscles. Cardiac muscle is also a special type of muscle, which is involuntary.
