Solution

The correct option is A Smooth muscle
Smooth muscle fibers are nonstriated, spindle-shaped and have 1 nucleus per cell. Constriction of smooth muscle occurs involuntarily as it is under autonomic nervous control. Contractions of smooth muscle move food through the digestive tracts and push blood through the blood vessels. Thus the correct answer is option B.
