Solution

The correct option is C Relaxation
Muscle twitch is the response of a muscle to a single electrical stimulation. It is divided into three phases: latent period - time between stimulation and beginning of shortening, contraction phase - time of shortening, relaxation phase- time when muscle is returning to resting length (longest phase).
