Solution

The correct option is C Cardiac muscles
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, uninucleated and shaped like almonds (tapered ends).
