Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The ability of a muscle cell to be stretched is called c) elasticity. Muscle elasticity is important for maintaining full range of motion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Extensibility is one of the most important characteristics of muscle tissues. It is defined as the ability of the muscle tissues to stretch beyond their normal resting length and still undergo contraction normally without damage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Extensibility is the ability to extend or stretch. Muscle cells shorten when contracting, but they can stretch, even beyond their resting length, when relaxed. Elasticity is the ability of a muscle cell to recoil and resume its resting length after stretching.
