The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding who proposed the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks about the scientists who proposed the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction. 2. **Recall the Sliding Filament Theory**: This theory explains how muscles contract. It states that muscle contraction occurs through the sliding of thin filaments (actin) over thick filaments (myosin). 3. **Identify the Scientists**: The sliding filament theory was proposed by A.F. Huxley and H.E. Huxley. 4. **Evaluate the Options**: - (a) Arnon and Hill: Incorrect, as they are related to the light reaction in photosynthesis. - (b) Huxley and Pullman: Incorrect, only Huxley is relevant here. - (c) Huxley and Huxley: Correct, as both A.F. Huxley and H.E. Huxley proposed the theory. - (d) Pullman and Pullman: Incorrect, as Pullman is not associated with this theory. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is (c) Huxley and Huxley. ### Final Answer: (c) Huxley and Huxley ---
