Solution

The correct option is C ATP
All muscle cells produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules which are used to power the movement of the myosin heads. Muscles have a short-term store of energy, in the form of creatine phosphate, which is generated from ATP and can regenerate ATP when needed with creatine kinase.
