Solution

The correct option is A Actin
  • Each myofibril consists of a series of contractile units (sarcomeres) connected at a protein border (the Z line).
  • Thin filaments(actin) of adjacent sarcomeres are present in the Z line between the thin filaments are thick filaments(myosin).
  • The protein tropomyosin winds around the thin filaments and covers the myosin binding sites. Hence, In skeleton muscle, Z-line is connected to actin.
So, the correct answer is 'actin'.
