b. The fibers are striated and have multinucleated cells.

Explanation:

Skeletal muscle fibers are cylindrical in appearance, have multiple nuclei, striated, and can be voluntary controlled.

Skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleate due to its sincitios nature I. e., each muscle fiber is produced by the coming together of many cells (myoblasts).
