Solution

The correct option is A Skeletal muscles
Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones and have the main function of contracting to facilitate the movement of our skeleton.
They are also sometimes known as striated muscles due to their appearance (alternate light and dark bands are present). Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles because we have direct control over them.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
