Solution

The correct option is D Huxley and Huxley
  • Sliding filament theory explains the mechanism of muscle contraction.
  • It states that contraction of a muscle fiber takes place by the sliding of the thin filaments(actin) over the thick filaments(myosin).
  • It was proposed by A.F.Huxley and H.E.Huxley.
  • So, the correct answer is'Huxley and Huxley'.
