Answer 1

The correct option is B Smooth muscles

Smooth muscle, also called involuntary muscle do not show cross stripes under microscopic magnification. It consists of narrow spindle-shaped cells with a single, centrally located nucleus. Smooth muscle tissue, unlike striated muscle, contracts slowly and automatically. Smooth muscle, found in the walls of the hollow internal organs such as blood vessels, the gastrointestinal tract, bladder, and uterus is under control of the autonomic nervous system.
