B
It is a form of striated muscle tissue which is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system.
C
complicated unit of striated muscle tissue.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -smooth muscle, also called involuntary muscle, muscle that shows no cross stripes under microscopic magnification. It consists of narrow spindle-shaped cells with a single, centrally located nucleus. Smooth muscle tissue, unlike striated muscle, contracts slowly and automatically.

Detailed explanation-2: -Smooth Muscle It gets its name because it lacks the striped appearance that skeletal and cardiac muscle display microscopically. Along with cardiac muscle, smooth muscle is involuntary-not under our conscious control.

Detailed explanation-3: -Smooth muscle has no striations, is not under voluntary control, has only one nucleus per cell, is tapered at both ends, and is called involuntary muscle. Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in the heart, and cardiac contractions pump blood throughout the body and maintain blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Skeletal muscles are long and cylindrical in appearance; when viewed under a microscope, skeletal muscle tissue has a striped or striated appearance.
