Solution

The correct option is A Support the body
Skeletal muscle is a type of striated muscle tissue. It is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system. It is one of three major muscle types, the others being the cardiac muscle and the smooth muscle. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibres known as the tendons. They carry out movements of the body and support the body.
Hence the correct option is A.
