Solution

The correct option is D I and III
Myogenic activity refers to the ability of a muscle to contract reflexively without nervous stimulation. Smooth and cardiac muscle both possess myogenic activity. Both the muscles are involuntary muscles. Skeletal muscles are closely associated with skeletal components in the human body. Their activity is under voluntary control of the nervous system and are not myogenic.
