Myosin is a polymeric protein made up of monomeric units called as “Meromyosin”
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Myosin makes up the thick filament and is a polymerised protein. It is made up of meromyosin, a monomeric protein. Meromyosin has 2 parts: a globular head with short arm, called heavy meromyosin, and the tail, called light meromyosin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each myosin molecule can be hydrolyzed by enzymatic digestion into two portions, which are light meromyosin (LMM) and heavy meromyosin (HMM) (Fig.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each myosin filament consists of a number of monomeric protein units called meromyosin.
