Solution
The correct option is
C
A-Band
Each myofibril (muscle filament)has alternate dark and light bands on it.
The light bands contain actin and are called I-band or Isotropic band, whereas the dark band called ‘A’ or Anisotropic band contains Myosin.
Myosin filaments are also called as Thick filaments.
Hence Myosin filaments are localized in A-Band.
So, the correct answer is 'A-Band'.
