Solution

The correct option is A Spindle, unbranched, uninucleated and involuntary
Smooth muscle fibers are nonstriated, unbranched, spindle-shaped and have 1 nucleus per cell. Constriction of smooth muscle occurs involuntarily . Contractions of smooth muscle move food through the digestive tracts and push blood through the blood vessels.
Thus the correct answer is option D.
