Solution

The correct option is B Myosin
  • Muscle contraction thus results from an interaction between the actin and myosin filaments that generates their movement relative to one another.
  • The molecular basis for this interaction is the binding of myosin to actin filaments, allowing myosin to function as a motor that drives filament sliding. Hence, The binding of troponin to calcium in muscle cells exposes the binding site of Myosin.
So, the correct answer is 'Myosin'.
