Solution

The correct option is A Smooth muscle
Smooth muscle is composed of grouped, fusiform cells with weak, involuntary contractions. Smooth muscle fibers are long, spindle-shaped (fusiform) cells. They have single and centrally placed nucleus in each cell of smooth muscle. The absence of striation is also characteristic of the smooth muscle cells.
So, the correct answer is (B)
