Solution

The correct option is A False
The statement is false.​

Muscles help in bringing body movements, For example, the muscles of the arm contract on bending it and relax when it is brought to ease. This shows that contraction and relaxation of muscles bring body movement. No muscle in the body elongates in any way.​
