Solution

The correct option is A Biceps

Each muscle in the pair works against the other to move bones at the joints of the body known as flexion.
The muscle that contracts to cause a joint to bend is called the flexor and the one that contracts to cause the joint to straighten is called the extensor.
The biceps mostly functions as a flexor at the elbow and bend the arm by decreasing the angle between the forearm and upper arm.
