segment of myofibril extending from one z-line to the next
A
sarcolemma
B
sarcoplasm
C
sarcomere
D
fascicle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A sarcomere is the region from one Z line to the next Z line. Many sarcomeres are present in a myofibril, resulting in the striation pattern characteristic of skeletal muscle. Myofibrils are composed of smaller structures called myofilaments .

Detailed explanation-2: -The section of a myofibril from one Z-line to the next Z-line is called a SARCOMERE. The arrangement of these sarcomeres next to each other produces the STRIATIONS of the skeletal muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The part between the two Z-lines is called a sarcomere.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is C one Z line to the next Z line.

Detailed explanation-5: -When (a) a sarcomere (b) contracts, the Z lines move closer together and the I band gets smaller. The A band stays the same width and, at full contraction, the thin filaments overlap. When a sarcomere shortens, some regions shorten whereas others stay the same length.
