The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks about the type of muscles present in the tongue. 2. **Understand Muscle Types**: There are three main types of muscles in the human body: - **Involuntary Muscles**: These muscles cannot be controlled consciously and are typically smooth and non-striated (e.g., muscles in the digestive tract). - **Voluntary Muscles**: These muscles can be controlled consciously and are usually skeletal muscles, which are striated (e.g., biceps, triceps). - **Biceps and Triceps**: These are specific types of voluntary muscles found in the arms and are not relevant to the tongue. 3. **Consider the Function of the Tongue**: The tongue is a muscle that we can move at will, such as when we stick it out, move it side to side, or manipulate it for speech. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the tongue can be moved voluntarily, the muscles of the tongue are classified as voluntary muscles. 5. **Final Answer**: The muscles of the tongue are voluntary muscles. ---
