Solution

The correct option is B i, ii and iii are correct
  • Myofibril is made up of two types of filaments.They are thin filament(actin) and thick filament(myosin).
  • Each actin (thin) filament is made of two ‘F’ (filamentous) actins helically wound to each other. Each ‘F’ actin is a polymer of monomeric ‘G’ (Globular) actins. Two filaments of another protein, tropomyosin also run close to the ‘F’ actins throughout its length. A complex protein Troponin is distributed at regular intervals on the tropomyosin.
  • Each myosin (thick) filament is also a polymerized protein. Many monomeric proteins called Meromyosins, constitute one thick filament. Globular head of meromyosin consists of Heavy meromyosin (HMM).
  • So, the correct answer is 'i, ii and iii are correct'
