Solution

The correct option is B Myosin binding sites on actin
In the resting muscle fibre or relaxation of muscle, the action potential stops. Calcium ions are pumped back into the sarcoplasmic cisternae resulting in masking of the myosin binding sites on actin filament. This is due to the troponin-tropomyosin complex masking the myosin binding site on the actin molecule.
