The bundles of fibers found in a muscle cell are called
A
muscle fibers
B
myofibrils
C
myofilaments
D
myofascicles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A myofibril (also known as a muscle fibril or sarcostyle) is a basic rod-like organelle of a muscle cell. Skeletal muscles are composed of long, tubular cells known as muscle fibers, and these cells contain many chains of myofibrils. Each myofibril has a diameter of 1–2 micrometres.

Detailed explanation-2: -Myofibrils are bundles of protein filaments that contain the contractile elements of the cardiomyocyte, that is, the machinery or motor that drives contraction and relaxation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The individual bundles of muscle fibers in a skeletal muscle are known as fasciculi. The outermost connective tissue sheath surrounding the entire muscle is known as epimysium.

Detailed explanation-4: -Muscles are composed of long bundles of Myocytes (Muscle fibers). Myocytes contain thousands of myofibrils.
