Solution

The correct option is C

cardiac


Cardiac muscles contain intercalated discs and branching fibers. Intercalated discs support synchronized contraction of cardiac muscle tissue. Skeletal muscle consists of multinucleated muscle fibers and exhibits no intercalated discs. Smooth muscles are nonstriated, involuntary, shaped like almonds (tapered ends) and have one nucleus per cell.
