Solution

The correct option is D Both B and C
The involuntary muscles perform the activity on its own. The movement of these muscles cannot be controlled willingly. The smooth muscles are present in the lining of the tubular organs of the digestive system. These muscles are involuntary and perform the function of peristalsis. Cardiac muscle is the muscle found in the wall of the heart. It is an important type of muscular tissue which works automatically (involuntary) and thus, called as involuntary muscles.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
