The answer is d because a since the tissue fibers are striped it must mean that if it was to be stretched out it'll be like a thread

Marlee Green · Answer 2

D

Explanation:

Since the muscle tissue is voluntary and it is used to raise a person's arm then it must be skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle has long cells in a way that resemble threads and thus are called striated which means thread-like or fiber-like. Also, skeletal muscle cells are multinucleated.
