The correct option is A

skeletal muscle

Skeletal muscle is striated, voluntary, multinucleated and are shaped like long fibres. Smooth muscle is nonstriated, involuntary, shaped like almonds (tapered ends) and uninucleated. Cardiac muscle is striated, involuntary, branched, uninucleated and shaped like fibres cross-linked to one another.
