Solution

The correct option is D myofibril
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.
