The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Covering membrane around muscle fiber is known as," we will analyze the options provided and identify the correct answer step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of the covering membrane that surrounds muscle fibers. This is a specific type of membrane related to muscle tissue. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Neurilemma**: This term refers to the outermost layer of the nerve fibers, not muscle fibers. - **(b) Plasmalemma**: This is a general term for the plasma membrane of a cell, but it is not specific to muscle fibers. - **(c) Sarcolemma**: This is the specialized plasma membrane that surrounds muscle fibers, particularly striated muscle fibers. - **(d) Myolemma**: This term is not commonly used in biological terminology and does not specifically refer to muscle fibers. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: From the analysis, we see that the term "sarcolemma" specifically refers to the covering membrane around muscle fibers. It is a specialized type of plasma membrane that plays a crucial role in muscle function, including contraction. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **(c) Sarcolemma**. ### Final Answer: (c) Sarcolemma
