Solution

The correct option is B Pull movement only
The Muscles work by contraction and relaxation this represents that muscles can pull bones, but they can't push them back to the original position.
For this reason, muscles are often arranged in pairs that pull bones in opposite directions.
Hence muscles attached to the bones move the body by pull movement only.
So, the correct answer is 'Pull movement only'.
