The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Myofibrils**: Each myofibril, which is a structural unit of a muscle cell, consists of alternating dark and light bands. These bands are crucial for muscle contraction and relaxation. 2. **Identifying the Bands**: The light bands are referred to as I bands (isotropic bands) because they appear lighter under a microscope. The dark bands are called A bands (anisotropic bands) as they appear darker. 3. **Location of the Z Line**: In the center of each I band, there is a structure known as the Z line (or Z band). This line is an elastic fiber that bisects the I band. 4. **Attachment of Filaments**: The thin filaments, which are primarily made of actin, are firmly attached to the Z line. This attachment is essential for the muscle contraction process. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the elastic fiber that bisects the I band is known as the Z line. **Final Answer**: The elastic fiber that bisects the I band is called the Z line. ---
