Solution

The correct option is C Specialized arrangement of myofilaments
Sarcomere is the repeating unit of skeletal myofilaments. The striations are the specialized arrangement of myofilaments, namely actin and myosin. Sarcomere is present between two Z lines. It is bordered between Z lines. This gives a striated appearance to the skeletal muscle.
