A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This statement is false. Skeletal muscles attach to bones and contract in order to move the body. In order for this to be effective, these muscles must be attached to another structure, typically a bone, at both ends of the muscle. Connective tissues called tendons connect muscles to bones.

Detailed explanation-2: -The locomotor system is also known as the musculoskeletal system. It is made up of the skeleton, the skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage and other connective tissue. These parts work together to allow movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscles are the most common muscles in your body. You use them to move your bones, so they play a vital role in everyday activities.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tendons connect the skeletal system to the muscular system by attaching muscle to bone. When muscle contracts, the tendon acts on the bone, causing movement. Joints, the point at which two or more bones connect, can be fixed, slightly movable, or freely movable.

Detailed explanation-5: -False. Cardiac muscles do not move the skeleton of the body. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary strident muscle that constitutes the tissues of the heart.
