The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Heart Muscles**: The muscles of the heart are known as cardiac muscles. It is essential to know their characteristics to answer the question correctly. 2. **Identifying Characteristics**: - Cardiac muscles are **striated**, meaning they have a banded appearance due to the arrangement of muscle fibers. - They are **branched**, which is a unique feature that distinguishes them from other muscle types. - Cardiac muscles are **involuntary**, meaning they are not under conscious control and function automatically. 3. **Evaluating Options**: - **Option 1**: "Striated voluntary" - This is incorrect because, while cardiac muscles are striated, they are not voluntary. - **Option 2**: "Non-striated and voluntary" - This is incorrect as cardiac muscles are striated and involuntary. - **Option 3**: "Striated unbranched involuntary" - This is incorrect because although they are striated and involuntary, they are not unbranched; they are branched. - **Option 4**: "Striated branched and involuntary" - This is correct as it accurately describes cardiac muscles. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option 4**: "Striated branched and involuntary."
