Solution

The correct option is A Syncytial
Syncytial cell is a cell that is multinucleated. It contains more than one nuclei. It is resulted from multiple cell fusions of uninuclear cells. The muscle fibre is a syncytial cell as it has multiple nuclei, in which each nucleus has originated from single myoblast.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Syncytial.'
