Solution

The correct options are
B Skeletal muscle cells are unbranched
D Skeletal muscle cells are multinucleated
Skeletal muscles are present in close association with the skeletal components of the body. These muscles show alternate light and dark bands or striations under the microscope. Hence, they are called striated muscles. The cells of this tissue are cylindrical, long, unbranched and are multinucleated, i.e., they have many nuclei.
