Question

• A. Voluntary movement
• B. Involuntary movement
• C. Nastic movement
• D. Either A or B

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Voluntary movement

• Locomotion in biology pertains to the various movements of organisms (single-celled or multicellular organisms) to propel themselves from one place to another.
  
• In multicellular animals, these movements include walking, running, jumping, crawling, climbing, swimming, flying, galloping, slithering, and so on. Voluntary muscles are the ones that we can control.
  
• Most of them move the bones around. If we want to run, walk, ride a bike, wave our arms around, or eat our favorite sandwich, it is voluntary muscles by which we can move arms, legs, and body around. Hence, locomotion is a voluntary movement.
  

So, the correct answer is 'Voluntary movement'.
