Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Tetanus.
If many stimuli are given repeatedly and rapidly to the muscle fibre, the result is an amplified, sustained contraction called as tetanus. When the strength of stimulation and the frequency is stronger and faster, the muscle tissue does not recover sufficiently between stimulations. The response produces summation due to incomplete tetanus.
