The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concept of Stimulus**: - A stimulus is a signal that triggers a response in a muscle. In the context of muscle contraction, a stimulus must reach a certain level known as the threshold stimulus to initiate a contraction. 2. **Defining Subminimal Stimulus**: - A subminimal stimulus is any stimulus that is below the threshold level. This means it is not strong enough to cause the muscle fibers to contract. 3. **Applying the All or None Principle**: - According to the all or none principle, a muscle fiber will either contract fully when the threshold stimulus is met or not contract at all if the stimulus is below this threshold. There is no partial contraction. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, when a subminimal stimulus is applied to a muscle, the muscle will not contract at all. This leads us to conclude that the correct answer to the question is that the muscle will not contract. ### Final Answer: When a subminimal stimulus is given, the muscle will not contract at all. ---
