Solution

The correct option is B Tropomyosin
Troponin is attached to the protein tropomyosin and lies within the groove between actin filaments in muscle tissue. In a relaxed muscle, tropomyosin blocks the attachment site for the myosin crossbridge, thus preventing contraction. Tropomyosin needs to be displaced from this attachment for contraction to occur.
