Solution

The correct option is C Striated
Cardiac muscles are involuntary and skeletal muscles are voluntary. Voluntary muscles are under the control of the conscious will of an organism, whereas involuntary muscles are not.
Both the cardiac and skeletal muscles appear to have dark and light bands or striations under the microscope, although the striations are more prominent in skeletal muscles.
