The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about the contracted skeletal muscle fiber and the statements regarding the sarcomere, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Sarcomere Structure**: - The sarcomere is the basic contractile unit of skeletal muscle fibers. It is composed of thick and thin filaments, primarily myosin (thick) and actin (thin). 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: "A band is present in the middle of sarcomere." - The A band is indeed located in the middle of the sarcomere. It contains the entire length of the thick filaments (myosin) and overlaps with thin filaments (actin) at the edges. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **true**. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: "H zone is present in the middle of A band." - The H zone is a region within the A band where there is no overlap between thick and thin filaments; it is the central part of the A band. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **true**. 4. **Analyzing Statement 3**: "M line is present in middle of H zone." - The M line is a structural protein that holds the thick filaments together and is located in the center of the H zone. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **true**. 5. **Final Conclusion**: Since all three statements are true, the correct answer is "all of these." ### Final Answer: The correct answer is option 4: **All of these**. ---
