Solution

The correct option is B Presence of alternate light and dark bands
Skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles are called striated muscles due to the presence of alternate dark and light bands. When stained, this arrangement is visible as light and dark bands under the microscope. Hence, striations appear on striped muscles. Therefore, option A is correct.
