The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Troponin**: Troponin is a group of proteins that play a crucial role in muscle contraction, particularly in skeletal and cardiac (heart) muscles. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides four options: - 1. Digestive Enzyme - 2. Muscle Protein - 3. High Energy Reservoir - 4. Water Soluble Vitamins 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Digestive Enzyme**: These enzymes are responsible for breaking down food in the digestive system. Troponin does not fit this description. - **Muscle Protein**: Troponin is indeed a type of protein found in muscle tissues, specifically involved in the contraction process. - **High Energy Reservoir**: This refers to substances that can store or release energy without changing temperature. Troponin does not serve this function. - **Water Soluble Vitamins**: These are vitamins that dissolve in water and are not related to muscle contraction. Troponin is not a vitamin. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that Troponin is a **Muscle Protein**. **Final Answer**: Troponin is a Muscle Protein. ---
