Solution

The correct option is C Sarcomere
Sarcomere is the contractile unit of a myofibril in striated muscle. The sarcomeres are joined end to end to form a myofibril. Each sarcomere is composed of a Z-line at either end, to which the actin filaments are attached.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C), 'Sarcomere'.
