  • Correct answer
    A
    syncytial
  • B
    spindle shape

    none of these

Solution

Striated muscle or skeletal muscle or voluntary muscle or striped muscle fibre is an elongated cell surrounded externally by sarcolemma. Just beneath the sarcolemma in each fibre, many nuclei occur at irregular intervals. Thus, these fibres are multinucleated or syncytial in nature.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
