Solution

The correct option is A
Myofibrils and sarcomere

Thick and thin filaments are protein filaments which form cylindrical structures called myofibrils.Each myofibril is arranged in a pattern, which repeats itself throughout the length of the myofibril.This repeating pattern is called a sarcomere which is the basic contractile unit of a muscle fibre.
